Been there with JDO -- the docs are not adequate.

I don't know your exact requirements but I suspect you'll find many on
this list who found objectify to be the "simplest convenient interface
to the Google App Engine datastore".

[appengine-java] Disappointment about JPA relationships :(

2010-10-23 Thread Matthieu Bertin
Hello,

I'm just here because i feel i need to rant a little. I came here
expecting way too much. I'm of course blaming me for being way too
optimistic but i also believe ranting against google is somehow
justifiable, and i'll explain why.

I've started porting an application on Google App engine and i'm now
sick of discovering exceptions like :

- Detected attempt to establish PictureThread(28) as the parent of
Picture(27) but the entity identified by Picture(27) has already been
persisted without a parent. A parent cannot be established or changed
once an object has been persisted
- cannot operate on two differents types of entities in the same
request/transaction'. Your documentation has headed me in the wrong
direction; all you mention is 'unowned relationships' and 'many-to-many
relationships' are not supported.
Please fix that. Give us the real limitations on the documentation!
There is no mention of "one to one" limitations or 'handling multiple
entities in same transaction' limitations anywhere.

It would totally be understandable not to mention theses limitations
when JDBC APIs were created, but nowadays, when you mention 'JPA', this
kind of limitations HAVE to be mentionned.
