Make generated EMF classes implement Serializable [message #509031]

Hi.

I have emf data model and I am using Teneo for persistence. However because I am using JSF for presentation I need to make the generated EMF classes implement Serializable. How can I achieve this?

Thank you!

Hi Svetoslav,
What I do myself is the following (but maybe others have better ideas):
- create an interface which extends both EObject and Serializable
- then in the genmodel in the field, root extends interface, set this interface and then regenerate the classes

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi.

Thank you for the quick reply. I have thought of that way but I didn't want to do it like that because Teneo would generate some unnecessary tables in the database and it will cause some overhead. I have read somewhere about Teneo annotations and that I could control the generation of the table that way but it seems too much work to manually add annotations to all the classes.. I have read some JET tutorials and probably I could achieve that by JET but I couldn't find how can I use it along with EMF model generation.

Hi Svetoslav,
Afaics no new tables would be generated in this way. The generated interfaces already extend EObject and Serializable
does not add anything. Let me know what you see happening if it is different.

Yes you can add annotations directly in the model (http://www.elver.org/hibernate/ejb3_format.html), but afaics it is
not needed in this case.

Hi.

Thank you for the help! The first time I misunderstood you.. I thought that you are suggesting to create a new interface in the model and assign it to ESuper Type to all classes. It works fine the way you told me. Thanks again!

Guys,

This bugzilla has relatively complete patches (along the line of what
Martin is suggesting) for supporting this
