Re: [eclipselink-dev] JPA test issue: object-type-converter orm mapping

[Guy Pelletier <guy.pelletier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sabine,

Having the object type converter defined within the basic is ok and you need only add the convert to plug the convert into the mapping, e.g.

            <basic name="gender">
                <convert>gender</convert>

                <object-type-converter name="gender" data-type="String" object-type="Mafioso$Gender">

                    <conversion-value data-value="F" object-value="Female"/>

                    <conversion-value data-value="M" object-value="Male"/>

                </object-type-converter>

            </basic>

Cheers,
Guy

Hi,

 

I had a look into the JPA tests org.eclipse.persistence.testing.tests.jpa.xml.advanced.EntityMappingsMultitenantJUnitTestCase.testCreateMafiaFamily* which fail on Sybase ASE.

It turned out that the mapping contained an ObjectTypeConverter for the Gender enum, which doesn’t work.

 

I wonder, though, whether the XML mapping file (eclipselink-xml-only-model/advanced-multitenant-entity-mappings.xml) is actually correct. This is the relevant section:

 

    <entity name="XMLMafioso" class="Mafioso">

        (...)

        <attributes>

            (...)

            <basic name="gender">

                <object-type-converter name="gender" data-type="String" object-type="Mafioso$Gender">

                    <conversion-value data-value="F" object-value="Female"/>

                    <conversion-value data-value="M" object-value="Male"/>

                </object-type-converter>

            </basic>

            (...)

        </attributes>

    </entity>

 

Is this a correct mapping? Or should it rather be:

 

    <object-type-converter name="gender" data-type="String" object-type="Mafioso$Gender">

        <conversion-value data-value="F" object-value="Female"/>

        <conversion-value data-value="M" object-value="Male"/>

    </object-type-converter>

 

    <entity name="XMLMafioso" class="Mafioso">

        (...)

        <attributes>

            (...)

            <basic name="gender">

                <convert>gender</convert>

            </basic>

            (...)

        </attributes>

    </entity>

 

? This is what I find in the documentation. With this mapping the test passes.

 

Should I simply change the mapping in the test to use the second option, or is the first mapping correct and there is rather an issue in the runtime?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Sabine
