Hi,
thanks for your quick replies. Yes I understand what you are saying. So
I think for the time being I will make the sourcecode changes in my
local sourcefiles to handle the namespace for dvmodeler so it can read
the XXXXmap.xml files for the entities and create something like a
dataview.xml in parallell to the cayenne.xml. Then I can continue
evaluating dataviews without having to be hindered by the rewrite of the
cayenne.xml and the namespace in the map files.
Cheers,
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
yeah, that's the case.
I should also note that we'll be happy to revive the DV project if we find a
dedicated volunteer to support it. I guess if that happens, my main request
would be to keep the DV stuff decoupled from Cayenne runtime and cayenne.xml
file.
Cheers,
Andrus

Ooops,
I'm sorry I did not search the mailing list thoroughly, there is already a
posting related to the dataviews getting thrown out of the cayenne.xml. So that
one is known.

Hi,
as I have understood the dataviews and dvmodeler has been cut out of th cayenne
project and is no longer maintained. Nevertheless I have kind of fallen in love
with cayenne during my evaluation of it and also would like to have a look at
dataviews and dvmodeler to see if it fits my needs. I understand that this is
the user forum for cayenne but maybe someone can at least point me onwards if
so.
So, therefore I have compiled the dataview/dvmodeler svn source on my machine.
So far so good, no problems.
But when I try to open up one of my cayenne 3.0 projects in dvmodeler no
objentities are shown and no errors are shown. I started to debug the dvmodeler
and found out that it fails to find the children (obj-entity) of the data-map
node.
CayenneProject.java
List elements = elem.getChildren("obj-entity");
It fails because the XXXXXXmap.xml file has a
xmlns="http://cayenne.apache.org/schema/3.0/modelMap"; causing the getChildren
above to fail. If I change the getChildren call to also include the namespace it works or
if I remove the xmlns from the XXXmap.xml file. Then I can work with dvmodeler.
So far so good, but when I reload the project into CayenneModeler it rewrites
the namespace again and also removes any dataviews in the cayenne.xml. So, I
need to have different configurationfiles for cayennemodeler and dvmodeler.
So now to my question, does anyone have any thoughts on starting to maintain
dataviews/dvmodeler ?
If there are no such plans yet, If I find any changes/corrections due to bugs
or whatever that I would like to make during my evaluation of this, are there
anyone maintaining the dvmodeler svn source or do I keep those changes to my
self :-)
Is anyone using dataviews with 3.0 ?
Cheers and thanks for a very interesting framework,
Tomas
