Hello, I just field this in bugzilla. However, I want to make sure I'm not missing something really basic. Here's the description: --- I attempted this to work around bug 182 reported earlier. I have a CMP entity bean with the following primkey mapping: <primkey-mapping> <cmp-field-mapping name="guid"> <properties> <cmp-field-mapping name="stringValue" persistence-name="guidValue" /> </properties> </cmp-field-mapping> </primkey-mapping> GUID.getStringValue() and GUID.setStringValue(String ) are available. Orion correctly creates the tables. However, I get the following errors during deployment: Found 2 semantic errors compiling "C:/dev/DiscussionItem_EntityBeanWrapper14.jav a": 1921. if(object.stringValue == null) s tatement.setNull(currentStatementPosition++, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR); <----------------> *** Error: No field named "stringValue" was found in type "DiscussionItemBean_Pe rsistenceManager31". I guess the code is not respecting the properties tag and trying to access the field directly. Of course, there is no such field. I can not even expose the field as the method pair get/setStringValue was introduced to workaround the previously reported bug :( I tried this against 1.3.8, 1.4.0 and 1.4.4. -- Vidur Dhanda Active Solutions tel: 617/566-1252 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.active-solutions-inc.com
