hi jakob, my problem might be a little bit different. I have tables Actions and Statutes with a string primary key. Table Transitions has three columns preStatusName, actionName, postStatusName. preStatusName and postStatusName reference to primary key of Statuses and actionName references to primary key of Actions.
Table Transitions has a compound primary key (preStatusName, actionName, postStatusName). <class-descriptor class="Transition" table="Transitions"> <field-descriptor name="preStatusName" column="preStatusName" primaryKey="true" access="anonymous"/> <field-descriptor name="actionName" column="actionName" primaryKey="true" access="anonymous"/> <field-descriptor name="postStatusName" column="postStatusName" primaryKey="true" access="anonymous"/> <reference-descriptor name="preStatus" class-ref="Status"> <foreign-key field-ref="preStatusName"/> </reference-descriptor> <reference-descriptor name="action" class-ref="Action"> <foreign-key field-ref="actionName"/> </reference-descriptor> <reference-descriptor name="postStatus" class-ref="Status"> <foreign-key field-ref="postStatusName"/> </reference-descriptor> </class-descriptor> I use the PB Api only to get meta information of a class (PrimaryKeys etc.) to build up a query for that class depending on the values of the primary key (e.g. to look up the class). When I use field.get(transition) I get null for the anonymous fields. When I remove the access type anonymous everything is fine. The transition object might not be constructed by the PB e.g. I have Transition t = new Transition(); t.setPostStatus(postStatus); t.setAction(action); t.setPreStatus(preStatus); persistentField.get(t) returns null where persistentField is one of the three declared fields with anonymous access. Is postStatusName anonymously mapped to postStatus.name? Or has the transition object to be materialized from the PB to return the correct field values?
