Hello everyone,

I'm begginer in Java and also in JPA.. Unfortunately i have to work with postgresql + JPA + eclipselink, because is my school project. Database is final and i can't do any changes even if i wanted to. In structure of DB is this.
--
-- Name: address; Type: TYPE; Schema: artio; Owner: facman
--

  
CREATE TYPE address AS (
street character varying,
city character varying,
state character varying,
country character varying,
zip character varying,
note character varying
);
ALTER TYPE artio.address OWNER TO facman;


here is screenshot of this custom type in my table http://img822.imageshack.us/i/18591958.png

1. is even possible to use @embedded and @AttributeOverrides for postgresql ?

I was trying by myself some code : but no success. Because if i want select directly street, i must use in sql something like this:
(address)."street" ... but if i want to save something it must be address."street" without "( )" and this is the issue.
@Entity
@Table(name = "\"Property\"", catalog = "", schema = "public", uniqueConstraints = {@UniqueConstraint(columnNames = {"code"})})
public class Property implements Serializable {  
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false) 
    @Column(name = "\"propertyID\"", nullable = false)
    private Long propertyID;
    @Column(name = "code", length = 20)
    private String code;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "\"name\"", nullable = false, length = 200)
    private String name;    
    @Embedded
    @AttributeOverrides({
        @AttributeOverride(name = "street", column =
        @Column(name = "********"))
    })
private Address address;


I don't know what i should put instead ********* because if i put there "address" then i get object: Address.getStreet() but in this object is all address means (Street,city,state,zip...)
if i put street instead of ******* than i have sql error that column street does not exist, which is right. It doesn't . Only way i can get it is (address).street but if i put this instead of ****** than i get the same error as previous. System somehow change (address).street only into street. I need help how deal with it. I need to be able to selected/insert/update separate part of address as street,city,etc.

public class Address implements Serializable {
    protected String street;

    public String getStreet() {
        return street;
    }

    public void setStreet(String street) {
        this.street = street;
    }
}

I spend 14 hours to find out and im exhausted.
PLEASE HELP ME Sad
Best Regards Adam

Hello,

Embeddable is used for objects that exist using the same database row as the parent object. The embeddable itself doesn't have its own table. What you are looking for is nested table support, which doesn't exist in JPA.

EclipseLink has support for object-relational data types described here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Introduction_to_Object-Relational_Da ta_Type_Mappings_(ELUG)
This will require a customizer to implement the mappings, so you will need to mark the address attribute as @Transient so it doesn't get default mappings for it, and then add a StructMapping to the Property Descriptor and ObjectRelationalDataTypeDescriptor for Address in the customizer. An example is the PolicyHolder->Address relationship found here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/rt/org.eclipse.persistence/tr unk/foundation/eclipselink.core.test/src/org/eclipse/persist ence/testing/models/insurance/objectrelational/

You can also use a @StructConverter annotation:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_EclipseLink_JPA_Extensions_(ELUG)#How_to_Use_the_.40StructConverter_Annotation
This allows you to set up your own StructConverter for your platform to convert to/from the java object, but you will have to write the implementing class yourself.

Best Regards,
Chris
