Hi,
Is there a way to traverse back up through the JPA annotated TEXO generated domain model?
e.g.
Application (id, channel, product)
--->Applicant(s) (id, first name, last name, type)
------>Address(s) (id, line1, line2, type)
The data is persisted to the datastore fine. JPA adds parent id column to the child tables when the schema is auto-generated.
I now have the challenge of querying the data. The user wants the following data returned:
application.id, application.channel, address.line1, applicant.firstname where address.type = "home" and applicant.type = "gold";
The equivalent SQL would be something like this; joining to each parent table to get the attributes required:
select a.id, a.channel, b.firstname, c.line1, from Application a, Applicant b, Address c where c.type = "home"
and b.type = "gold"
and c.id = b.id
and b.id = a.id;
I can use the ModelPackage to validate that address.line1 is a valid EAttribute. I cannot though see how I can traverse back up the object graph to find the parent structure right up to my top-level domain object. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi Gary,
You have to explicitly model the pointer to the parent in your model, you can make the association bidirectional. Texo
should map this correctly. See also this wiki page:
