unidirectional ManyToMany with an order? [message #540351] Tue, 15 June 2010 18:59 Go to next message

Hello,

I would like to use a unidirectional ManyToMany with an order and don't
know how to do this. My classes look like this:

- A simple class Item, which has no knowledge of groups.
- A class Group, which has an ordered collection of items.
- The order depends not on a field of the items! Every group has a
special order of the items.
- One Item could be contained in many different groups.

I would be very happy, if someone could give me a hint, how to map this.


Kind regards,
Lars

I tried to use this in the Group class:

@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name = "GROUP_ITEM", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name =
"GROUP_ID"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "ITEM_ID"))
@MapKeyColumn(name = "ORDER")
private Map<Integer, Item> items;

But eclipselink throws an error when creating the table GROUP_ITEM:


[EL Fine]: Connection(24548764)--CREATE TABLE GROUP_ITEM (GROUP_ID
BIGINT NOT NULL, ITEM_ID BIGINT NOT NULL, ORDER VARCHAR, PRIMARY KEY

What is wrong with my mapping? Can I only use String as MapKey?

Lars

Without overriding the MapKeyColumn, this is working fine.

Is this a bug on @MapKeyColumn?

Hello,

I don't know what database you are using, but the problem seems to be at the database level when using a column "ORDER". Try a different column name as it is likely a reserved word in your database.

Best Regards,
Chris

ORDER is a reserved word. I changed it and now the table could be created.

But now I run into the next problem:
If the map with the items will be loaded, I get this exception:

[EL Warning]: Exception [EclipseLink-6069] (Eclipse Persistence Services

The mapping now looks like this:

@ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinTable(name = "GROUP_ITEM", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name =
"GROUP_ID"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "ITEM_ID"))
@MapKeyColumn(name = "SORT")
private Map<Integer, Item> items;

Hello,

Looks like it maybe a bug. Can you try setting the table in the MapKeyColumn annotation? Please also send the full stack trace, as it helps determine why the error is being thrown.

Best Regards,
Chris

This solves the error. Thank you very much for this hint!

My mapping now looks like this:

@ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinTable(name = "GROUP_ITEM", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name =
"GROUP_ID"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "ITEM_ID"))
@MapKeyColumn(name = "SORT", table = "GROUP_ITEM")
private Map<Integer, Item> items;


But is the setting of the table needed? I found a description for my
mapping problem in a book. The shown example in the book does not use
the table setting in the MapKeyColumn annotation.
Could someone confirm that this would be a bug? Then I will file a new
entry in bugzilla.

Kind regards,
Lars

I have another problem with such mapping.
If you check sql ddl you can find that primary key for join table is composite comprised owner_id and mapvalue_id.
This leads to situation you can insert duplicate map keys into table.
In my opinion primary key for such table should be owner_id and map_key column.
