Has any one been able to get the Entity(1) to Dependent(N) relationship
working?  I am thinking of removing Dependent objects and just using Entity
Beans.  However, in the way Orion handles relationships, I will have an
extra table I do not really need.

If I have a PersonEntity relating to PhoneEntity in a 1-N scenario, then
Orion attempts to create PersonEntity-PhoneEntity join table.  Is there a
way to modify orion-ejb-jar.xml to avoid this type of scenario.  All my
Entities are identified with integer key, so my phone table simply contains
a field called 'ownerId'.  Different types of entities can have phones, but
since all the entities are identified with the same type of primary key, I
can store that in the 'ownerId' field in the phone table.

Thanks.

Here is an excerpt from orion-ejb-jar.xml, can someone tell me if I have
something configured incorrectly.  Again, the data is properly written to
the database, it is just NOT READ when orion is restarted and
getPhoneDependents() api is executed.

<entity-deployment name="ejb.person.PersonEntity"
location="ejb.person.PersonEntity"
wrapper="PersonEntityHome_EntityHomeWrapper33"
table="ejb_person_PersonEntity" data-source="jdbc/siteDS">
  <primkey-mapping>
    <cmp-field-mapping>
      <fields>
          <cmp-field-mapping name="id" persistence-name="id" />
      </fields>
    </cmp-field-mapping>
  </primkey-mapping>
  <cmp-field-mapping name="salutation" persistence-name="salutation" />
  <cmp-field-mapping name="name" persistence-name="name" />
  <cmp-field-mapping name="email" persistence-name="email" />
  <cmp-field-mapping name="phoneDependents">
    <collection-mapping table="ejb_phones">
      <primkey-mapping>
        <cmp-field-mapping>
          <fields>
            <cmp-field-mapping name="id" persistence-name="id" />
          </fields>
        </cmp-field-mapping>
      </primkey-mapping>
      <value-mapping type="ejb.person.PersonPhone">
        <cmp-field-mapping name="value">
          <properties>
            <cmp-field-mapping name="id" persistence-name="id" />
            <cmp-field-mapping name="number" persistence-name="number" />
            <cmp-field-mapping name="person">
              <entity-ref home="ejb.person.PersonEntity">
                <cmp-field-mapping name="person">
                  <fields>
                    <cmp-field-mapping name="id" persistence-name="ownerId"
/>
                  </fields>
                </cmp-field-mapping>
              </entity-ref>
            </cmp-field-mapping>
          </properties>
        </cmp-field-mapping>
      </value-mapping>
    </collection-mapping>
  </cmp-field-mapping>
  <ejb-ref-mapping name="ejb/id" />
</entity-deployment>

Again, the ejb.person.PersonEntity has a 1 to N relation with dependend
ejb.pers.PersonPhone.

Thanks.

Subject: Problem retrieving dependents after Orion restart


I have an entity bean with 1-N relationships to dependents.  I have two
clients, the first client executes a method on a session that populates and
works with the data.  The second client tries to access the data.  When I
run the first client followed by the second client, second client works
correctly.  When I run the first client, then RESTART ORION, then run second
client, second client fails to find dependents (but they are there, in the
table).

Here is the output:

Orion/1.4.7 initialized
Create person entity
Add phone1
Add phone2
Add phone3
Phone: 8551 (818) 541-0029 1
Phone: 8552 None 2
Phone: 8553 (310) 880-5962 3
Deleting last phone
Phones: [Lejb.util.Value;@44006e

[apara@junior orion]$ ./go
Orion/1.4.7 initialized
Phones: null

First we create a new person entity, set the phones (dependents), then list
the phones, finally delete the last phone.  Then restarting orion, we try to
lookup the phone dependents.  Phones returns as null.  The table contains
correct values.  Phones ARE there.

What could be wrong?
