Hi Alex,
Yes, the Map support was not very good and I worked on that this week.
With my latest commit, you can use a map like this :
@Node
public class MyClass
{
@Collection Map<String,AnotherClass> map;
}
Of course, HashMap is also supported. AnotherClass has to be a persistent
class. Is it your case ?
The current limitation is to use a String as the map Key because the key is
used to create a subnode matching to the element stored into the map. I'm
thinking about how to support other types for the map key.
See the unit test :
/jackrabbit-ocm/src/test/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/ocm/manager/collectionconverter/AnnotationHashMapTest
to get an example.
> May be we need @Map annotation?
Why not to use the Jpa annotation names ? OneToMany, ManyToOne, ...
That the same for @Node. We can rename it into @Entity
Let me know if you need more help or if you have some questions.
br,
Christophe
