[Xdoclet-user] Using VO's 'HasBeenSet' method

[Mike Moulton]

A while back *11/02' I created a bug/feature request XDT-158 (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/secure/ViewIssue.jspa?key=XDT-158) that recently has re-surfaced in a project I am working on.

The problem relates to calling a value object's set method only if that properties 'HasBeenSet' method is true. Can anyone tell me why this method is never called? The text of the bug report is below:

Thanks,

XDT-158
--------------
I would like to request the addition of a call to a properties 'HasBeenSet' method in the generated entity value object set method.

This would be accomplished with the following line added to the 'entity-value.xdt' template from 1.2 Beta 1 src release @ line #155

new line 155: if (valueHolder.<XDtMethod:propertyName/>HasBeenSet())
new line 156: <XDtMethod:setterMethod/>( valueHolder.<XDtMethod:getterMethod/>() );

If there is a reason this wasn't included in the first place a quick explination would help so I can find alternate solutions to my problem.
