Hi, My appfuse version is 2.0-M5. I have a model class named Service which is mapped to 'services' table. This model has a <map> type property called attributes<key, value> which is realized via one-to-many join table named service_attributes.
2 questions: 1- Is my mapping correct? Not sure because I can't nominate the second column (atrr_value) in the join table via the mappings. 2- My service table and its sample data is preserved, but my service_attributes table is truncated every time I run 'mvn test' and I lose the data in it. (I know that it's not dropped and recreated because the app has no clue of the column name of attr_value.) How can I avoid this? I did the mapping which can be seen from the enclosed Service.java and the two ddls for the tables. @Entity @Table(name="services") public class Service { private Long id; private String name; private Map<String, String> attributes = new HashMap<String, String>(); @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) public Long getId() { return id; } public void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; } @Column(nullable = false) public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } @org.hibernate.annotations.CollectionOfElements @JoinTable( name = "service_attributes", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "id") ) @org.hibernate.annotations.MapKey( columns = [EMAIL PROTECTED](name="attr_key"), } ) @Column(name="attr_value") public Map<String, String> getAttributes() { return attributes; } public void setAttributes(Map<String, String> attributes) { this.attributes = attributes; } } -- ---------------------------- -- Table structure for `services` -- ---------------------------- CREATE TABLE `services` ( `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', `name` varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ); -- ---------------------------- -- Table structure for `service_attributes` -- ---------------------------- CREATE TABLE `service_attributes` ( `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', `attr_key` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `att_value` varchar(255) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`attr_key`), KEY `FK416A6521F3E5C68F` (`id`), CONSTRAINT `FK416A6521F3E5C68F` FOREIGN KEY (`id`) REFERENCES `services` (`id`) ); -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/jpa%3A-value-type-%3Cmap%3E-mapping-tf3558875s2369.html#a9937982 Sent from the AppFuse - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
