[Teneo]Failure to persist a reference (to subclass) [message #82336] Mon, 07 May 2007 19:24 Go to next message

Hello,
Attached is a plugin demonstrating the problem with a simple model.
There are model objects for Book and Author.
A ScifiBook (subclass of book) has 0 or more Authors (non-containment
reference) associated with it.

In the TestSaveref JUnit test, I create two ScifiBooks and one ForeignAuthor
(subclass of Author). I associate the ForeignAuthor with both of the
ScifiBooks. When I retry to reload the model, one of the ScifiBooks fails to
retrieve its reference. Test output looks like:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Book "The Name of the Rose" has
incorrect number of authors. expected:<1> but was:<0>

Any ideas why? Any workarounds (potential model changes ok)?

Thanks,
-mike

Hi Mike,
The ScifiBook.authors ereference is a one-to-many. So one book can have multiple authors but an
author can only write one book. In the test case the one author is added to both book1 and book2,
setting the second book2 will overwrite the reference to the first book (as the fk column is present
in the author table).
By adding the following annotation to the authors ereference:
@OneToMany(unique=false)
the relation is made a unidirectional many-to-many resulting in a join table. In this case the test
case passes fine.

Hi Martin,
Thanks - that was the problem with my model.
Actually, instead of the annotation, I just set the "Unique" property to
false in the Book's authors EReference.
