Karl,
great to hear. feel much better now (with at least 2 important projects
being deployed within the next 6 weeks). So we'll keep posting our bug
reports and questions to the list until the bug tracking system is up and
wait for the next version (any sneak preview on features?).
Even if I'm becoming a pain in the ass I would still like you to comment on
one thing I have posted because it is so important to us and probably many
other people: Are you going to keep your CMP mapping for java types that
have a corresponding primitive type (e.g. java.lang.Integer) the way it is,
i.e. to a BLOB type? That way you can never have a database NULL in an
container-managed database column of type INTEGER, which is something that
gets you in big trouble in many situations. Although someone else has
posted it doesn't behave that way (which could indicate, that it is
jdbc-driver dependent), I can only say that that is what happens
(autodeployment tries to create a LONGVARBINARY column and mapping to
INTEGER crashes during runtime with a database exception, something like
'invalid type') using orion 0.8.3 with an Oracle 8.0.5 database, which
should be a common combination. If you suspect ii is driver dependent and
you don't have Oracle running´, please contact me if I can provide any more
useful information. btw what setup (OS, databases) do you use for testing?
Thanks for your feedback and again, congratulations on a great product,
Regards,
Robert
