HowTo use the JDO Enhancer ??

[Former Member]

Hello,

how can i make the JDO Enhancer aware of the fact, that a class to be made persistent is a derived class from another class being made persistent by JDO ?

The classpath used for the enhancer currently contains everything from the JDO sample plus the path so it can pick up the base classes. I think it is missing the .jdo file for the Base class.

I've taken a look at the example. Is this discriminator really needed ?

I'm not trying to model different business-entities (Employee<->Manager) using this approach. What i'd like to achieve is a common base class for all persistent objects containing attributes for creationdate/modificationdate/deletiondate.

I don't like the discriminitator approach since then the datamodel would look very strange to me and is tricky for simple SQL-selects.

Hi Udo,

the discriminator approach seems to be mandatory for inheritance mapping. If you don't like this, another option might be the usage of a bidirectional 1:1 relationship, but this depends on your further datamodel design.

Besides that the checker also complains about:

check.MySample:

Hi Udo,

did you map the persistent base class and how do you map, to a single or separate tables? Please look at the possible options and prerequisites (including a sample) here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/96/aa2ced867f480780e13a8bf20314f9/content.htm

Hello Stefan,

i do have my superclass declared as persistence-capable and provide a reference to the superclass in the derived class' .jdo.

Nevertheless the enhancer Task gives a:

enhance.MySample:

Hi Udo,

please have a look here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6a/a6c9ff024843b3abeded4a530ad29c/content.htm

Snippet:

"For classes that have persistence capable superclasses, you must also add the persistence-capable-superclass attribute, which declares the fully qualified name of the persistence capable superclass."

Hope that helps.

Regards

Stefan
