[teneo] one-to-many mapping bug? [message #423513] Wed, 01 October 2008 16:12 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a problem mapping a non-containment one-to-many relationship the
way I want.

In the library example and using Teneo 1.0.0 I would like to map the
Writer.books reference (with opposite Book.author) as a column BOOK.AUTHOR
without any additional index column or any join table.

To do this I checked that the Writer.books reference is set to
ordered=false and set the JOIN_TABLE_FOR_NON_CONTAINED_ASSOCIATIONS option
to false (the default is true although the Javadoc in PersistenceOptions
claims the opposite).

The problem I have is that I both get a column BOOK.AUTHOR and a column
BOOK.BOOK_AUTHOR. Can you confirm that this is a bug? Is this possibly
already fixed in CVS HEAD?

I found a working workaround by adding a @JoinColumn(name="AUTHOR")
annotation to the Writer.books reference. If I want to specify a different
column name, let's say AUTHOR_ID, I have to add a corresponding and
matching @JoinColumn to both references.

Regards,
Knut Wannheden

Hi Knut,
I have a testcase (using a list though and not a bag) which shows the correct behavior (one column
on the many side). Can you post the ecore then I can try myself with your model?

The error in the javadoc has been corrected in cvs, thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Martin,

After some more experimenting I found what causes the problem. It's the
combination of using JOIN_TABLE_FOR_NON_CONTAINED_ASSOCIATIONS="false"
and JOIN_COLUMN_NAMING_STRATEGY="simple". The same problem occurs
whether the reference is ordered or not (list or bag). I've included the
Ecore model below (it is the EMF library model without any alterations).

I have a few more remarks and questions on this topic:

1. IMHO "false" would have been a more sensible default for
JOIN_TABLE_FOR_NON_CONTAINED_ASSOCIATIONS as it would then still be
possible to force the use of a join table by setting the reference to
non-unique or using a corresponding annotation. With the option set to
"true" it is impossible to not get a join table.

2. Is there the possibility of specifying my own
JOIN_COLUMN_NAMING_STRATEGY? I'd like something like "simple" but with
an "_ID" suffix.

3. Also with the default naming strategy ("unique") I cannot simply
change the name of the Book.author reference using a @JoinColumn
annotation. Then I also end up with two join columns. Replace the
reference with the following if you'd like to test that.

<eStructuralFeatures xsi:type="ecore:EReference" name="author"
lowerBound="1"
eType="#//Writer" eOpposite="#//Writer/books">
<eAnnotations source="teneo.jpa">
<details key="appinfo"
value="@JoinColumn(name=&quot;AUTHOR_ID&quot;)"/>
</eAnnotations>
</eStructuralFeatures>


Here's the complete Ecore model:

MT>> Yes it was false before, but I noticed with more complex models that not using join tables
resulted in name clashes when join columns are created. This can happen with models with inheritance
and mappedsuperclass (and multiple inheritance). These name clashes are very difficult to find and
analyse (models are large, no exception is thrown but your lists contain wrong values) and in the
end the naming conflict was not solvable in an automatic way. Generating names for joincolumns is a
more complex thing then it seems at first because the naming logic needs to remain stable (always
generate the same name for the same thing) also when the model changes.
Therefore the options are currently set to the safest values when using Teneo out-of-the-box.

MT>> You can implement your own SQLNameStrategy (or extend a current one) and then set the class to
be used by Teneo as follows:
dataStore.getExtensionManager().registerExtension(SQLNameStr ategy.class.getName(),
MyNamingStrategy.class.getName());

before calling dataStore.initialize()

OK. I will include the details of point 3 below as I think it is really
the same issue, just that it's more prominent using the "simple" naming

OK, makes perfectly sense.
