Solved the problem myself by doing what I described in my first mail. Introduced one setValueCMP and one setValueCMR method which only set CMP fields or CMR fields rsp. setValueCMP is called in ejbCreate, setValueCMR in ejbPostCreate. I saw on the new XDoclet website in the "best practices" section that it is recommended to apply the setXXXValue method in ejbPostCreate. This was not applicable in my case due to my NOT NULL constraints in the database.
I still believe this to be a common problem when using an existing (legacy) database. What do y'all think about this? Another thing: Does anybody know how I insert a blank line in one of the XDoclet templates.

I assume it's not too uncommon to have NOT NULL columns in databases, so I would think not to (hopefully) be the only one having these kinds of problems. I'd appreciate any input! Thanks.

Oktober 2002 12:22 An: Xdoclet-User (E-Mail) Betreff: [Xdoclet-user] Problem with setting CMR fields in setValue() Hi, I'm using CMP 2.0 entity beans with CMR's and XDoclet 1.2.0's value object feature. I'm having a problem with XDoclet's implementation of the setValue(blaVO) method in the generated CMP class. setValue() tries to set a) all CMP fields and b) all CMR fields. Trying to use setValue() in ejbCreate gets me into trouble because of this behavior. I know that CMR fields need to be set in ejbPostCreate instead of ejbCreate. However, I can't simply set only the primary key field in ejbCreate and set the rest of the CMP fields together with the CMR fields in ejbPostCreate since I have certain NOT NULL columns in the database. Calling setValue() in ejbCreate gets me into trouble with the appserver (JBoss) because setValue() tries to set CMR fields in ejbCreate then. Calling setValue() in ejbPostCreate also gets me into trouble because the database complains about NOT NULL constraint violations. Has anybody else ever had these kinds of problems or is there another way to solve this. As I see it right now, I need to alter the entitycmp-template and split setValue up in two methods, one for setting CMP fields, and one for setting CMR fields.
