Working with JackRabbit OCM

Hi guys!

I'm new to JackRabbit and now I'm in process of testing JackRabbit OCM
feature.

I'm stuck with the following issue:



I have class Parent:



@Node

class Parent {

@Field

private String text;



public String getText(){

return this.text;

}



public void setText(String text){

this.text = text;

}

}



and child class:



@Node(extend=Parent.class)

class Child {



private String y;



@Override

public String getText(){

return this.y;

}



@Override

public void setText(String text){

this.y = text;

}

}



and doing following:



:

Child child = new Child();

child.setText("this is child"); // as I understand that code save to "y"
attribute



ocm.insert(child);

ocm.save();



QueryManager manager = ocm.getQueryManager();

Filter filter = manager.createFilter(AdvTextQuestionData.class);

filter.addLike("text", "%this is child%");



Query query = manager.createQuery(filter);



Collection t1 = ocm.getObjects(query);



:.



In result, collection isn't empty because OCM saves to repository to the
"text" property(annotated field in Parent class) following value: "this is
child" Why?

Actually I don't set this field and for me it's strange behavior: maybe
someone knows something about that?



Tnx a lot, Eraskin Alexey!

Because the Child class "extends" the Parent Class (see
@Node(extend=Parent.class) ) in term of OCM mapping and not in term of java.


"@Node(extend=Parent.class)" is a way to get all mapping info from an
ancestor class. this is only used for an inheritance tree which is not your
case I think.

You can solve the problem by replacing "@Node(extend=Parent.class)" by @Node
and add mapping info in the Child class.

FYI, "extend" attribute in @Node is obsolete. I will add a tutorial on the
inheritance support. From now, with the latest build from subversion, it is
possible to write :

@Node
Class MyAncestor
{
// Add fields here
}

@Node
Class MyClass extends MyAncestor
{
// Add fields here
}

MyClass will inherit all mapping info made in the MyAncestor because it is a
descendant of MyAncestor.


Let me know if you need more info
