RE: HibernateEntityValueEncoder NullPointerException - Composite/Compund Primary Key Issue
Kalle,
i really greatly appreciate the help that Lance Java provided to me (incredibly
helpful, explained things, linked to documents, provided code examples and
snippets, really one of the best bitys of help I've ever gotten from the
StackOverflow community), but at this point, i'm going to push for adding an id
column to the database table and testing that change against existing
functionality. this ValueEncoder approach is becoming untenable, as i have to
keep an eye to the future for maintenance, etc. i'm absolutely not trying to
create a crud project where sql must be manually written, and i need to have
others on my team be able to maintain and extend the initial functionality i'm
building out right now. while this may eventually work with enough tinkering,
it's become evident to me that what should be a very simple project is becoming
complex, and I would really like to avoid that.
Again, thanks to LanceJava for his incredible help.

I see Lance already answered to your question on Stackoverflow. Follow his
advice and make sure you contribute the encoder. After that, you may hit
another issues with tynamo not recognizing @IdClass (see an old issue
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/TYNAMO-168), whether it matters to you, I'm
not sure. I've used IdClasses before but not extensively, and don't recall
whether I've had them on tynamo-model or if I've simply ignored them from it.
As both Thiago and Lance mentioned, it's best to avoid composite keys with
Hibernate but I'm pretty sure you can get it to work if you need to. I'm always
happy to apply patches and please open an issue on github (
https://github.com/tynamo/tapestry-model) if you hit a specific issue with
tynamo-model (you may but you are not there yet :P ).

Hi Tapestry Users,
I'm using a CRUD framework called Tynamo, which in turn relies on
Apache Tapestry and Hibernate. This all works fine, except for when I
try to use it for CRUD on a table with a composite/compound primary key.
I've decided not to go the @EmbeddedId route, since it seems to not
work at all with the framework. That being said, I have been using the
@IdClass method, which is mostly working; I think I'm a line or two of
code away from success.
The issue is that when it starts using reflection to build the
objects, it blows up and says,
org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.util.TapestryException, caused by
java.lang.NullPointerException at
org.apache.tapestry5.internal.hibernate.HibernateEntityValueEncoder.init(HibernateEntityValueEncoder.java:51).
I honestly have no idea what's the deal here, but since I have normal
table CRUD operation working for numerous other tables, I would assume
this is somehow related to this table using a composite/compound primary key.
One thing I did try was to move the static inner class to its own
package and remove the staticclass modifier, but the exact same error
occurred.
You can see my class below:

import java.io.Serializable;

Thanks, Kalle! I'm still trying to work through it, so you're right, if I
need/request a patch, I'm not quite there yet. I'll be in touch as I figure
this out, I appreciate the help!
