Hi,
I wasnt able to find a previous thread that answers
this although it does sound a bit familiar to
me...feel free to refer me to a prior thread if Im
repeating...
My goal is to be able to be able to persist a
Collection of data in a particular order (and maintain
that order when I retrieve it) and Im hoping that
someone may be able to tell me if I am going about
this the correct way. For example, if I have a list
B-C-A, I want to persist it and then later retrieve
that list in the same order. The data itself isnt
something I can just add an "order by" clause to as
the order is more time dependent.
Ive used an orm.xml and the ReverseMappingTool to
generate my code, but even when I change the default
collection implementation to use an ordered or sorted
collection, I dont get the expected results. Perhaps
Im just implementing the collection usage wrong or
this is a feature not intended to be supported in JPA?
Id rather not modify my database schema but so far
thats where I feel like this is leading me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can offer.
Andrea
