Hi folks,
we encounter problems with embeddables.
Lets say we have this class Purchase like in EL test suite: a class with an embedabble which itself contains a relation (currency).
…
@Entity
public class Purchase {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private int id;
@AttributeOverride(
name="amount",
column=@Column(name="FEE_AMOUNT", nullable=true))
@AssociationOverride(
name="currency",
joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="FEE_ID", nullable=true)))
@Embedded
private Money fee;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public Money getFee() {
return fee;
}
public void setFee(Money fee) {
this.fee = fee;
}
…
In our use cases, we create Purchase with the embedded money = null (business logic says we add price later…). This should be legal because we defined all contained attributes as nullable. But we get an exception:
Exception [EclipseLink-68] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.1.2.v20101206-r8635): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DescriptorException
Exception Description: The value of an aggregate in object [anObject] is null. Null values not allowed for Aggregate mappings unless "Allow Null" is specified.
In EL 1.x.x this worked?
How can we get things working?
Thanks in advance, Markus
