Hi,

I want to add a new attribute called id and annotate it with @Id and @GeneratedValue to each object generated by TEXO from an XSD. I believe I need to edit the ecore file. I have tried adding various annotations to the ecore model but so far none have work. Can you help me work out how to accomplish this please.

A simplified version of the XSD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="/PurchaseOrder" xmlns:xs="/2001/XMLSchema">
	<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="surname" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="age" type="xs:int"/>
	<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="state" type="xs:string"/>
	<xs:element name="zip" type="xs:integer"/>
	<xs:attribute name="country" type="xs:NMTOKEN" fixed="US"/>
	<xs:attribute name="OrderDate" type="xs:date"/>
</xs:schema>


Regards,
Gary

Hi Gary,
There are different approaches to this, depending if you control the model or not.

>> Don't control the model (so the model can't be changed)
If your model is in an ecore file (so not xsd) then you can use an annotation model to annotation the efeatures/elements
which model the id and composite id:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo/ORM_JPA_Annotations_Details
You can create an ecore model from an xsd by right clicking it and then in the Texo submenu generate the ecore file,
then create the annotations model, then when generating code right click on the ecore file (not the xsd) to generate
code using the annotations model.

Another approach is to handcode a class which has the id member and annotate it with @MappedSuperclass, then in the
annotations model set the Root Class Extends property on an epackage annotation, let its value be the qualified
classname of the mapped super class. This is somewhat easier as you don't need to annotate each individual id efeature.

>> Control the model, can change it
If you control the model, instead of handcoding this superclass (see previous point) you can also make it part of your
model and let the other classes inherit from it. But then you need to control the model.

Hi Martin,

I want to persist the ECore model generated from an XSD so want to add an ID attribute to each entity. I have written a simple JPAIdentifer class:

package com.foobar.jpa;

import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass;

@MappedSuperclass
public class JPAIdentifier
{
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	private long id;
	
	public void setId(long id)
	{this.id = id;}

	public long getId() 
	{return id;}
}


I have created the ecore file and from this I have created Code Gen Annotations Model. To this I have supplied the Root Class Extends value.

When I generate the code, the superclass attributes are not being added. Can you help me determine what I am doing wrong please?

Regards,
Gary

Hi Gary,
Do you generate the code when right clicking on the ecore file or on the xsd? It should be through the ecore file. Also
I remember that your xsd results in 2 ecore files, you can check if you are indeed annotating the correct epackage.

As a tip, it is better to start with an almost empty annotations model, in your case you only need the annotation on
epackage level, the rest can be deleted.This because any changes in the ecore model are not synced to the annotations
model, so when you do changes in the ecore model the annotations model can get out of sync.

And as an extra tip.. the annotationsmodel file should be called the same as the ecore model file except for the
extension... I will for sure document this better.
