Hi,
I've been experimenting with Teneo and EMF for one of my projects. So far
I'm very impressed. I have run into a problem though. I have a model with
some custom EDataType definitions. Specifically, I have created an
EDataType for java.io.File.
<eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EDataType" name="JavaFile"
instanceClassName="java.io.File"/>
I use this data type as an attribute type in one of my model classes that I
would like to persist using Teneo with Hibernate. Allowing Teneo to build
the Hibernate mapping file, I discovered that they define the column type as
a binary type. I would like to persist the File object as a string. Is
there an annotation I can use to achieve this goal?
In an effort to work around the above challenge I defined an additional
attribute on my model class. The new attribute has type EString. My idea
was to make the new attribute a derived String reflection of the File
attribute and make the file attribute transient. The hope was that the
application would use the File API for logic and Teneo would use the String
API for persistence. I defined the String attribute as not-changeable,
volatile, and derived. I defined the File attribute as transient. The
result was that Teneo didn't store either attribute, claiming they were both
transient. When I removed the volatile setting from the String attribute it
was persisted, but now I have duplicate memory use in my object. So
question #2 is: how does Teneo determine that an attribute is volatile
(since the ECore volatile setting does not seem to be the sole criteria).
Thanks,
Chris

Use the @Type(type="java.class.here") annotation, where
"java.class.here" is your implementation of Hibernate's UserType
interface; if you're using the old style annotations, the source is
"http://hibernate.elver.org/Type". You can stick this annotation on the
JavaFile EDataType, and then it will be used everywhere an attribute is
of type JavaFile.
