Well, it wouldn't be the first time that is for sure. Maybe I'm just doing
something that is wrong but I have a piece of code that I want to work even if
I add more subclasses to this entity. Since I won't know ahead of time what
the name of this entity will be I don't know how to convert an entity name to
something that makes sense for the user. Maybe the code is easier to
understand?
NSMutableArray<ReportForPaymentType> reports = new
NSMutableArray<ReportForPaymentType>();
EOEntity entity = new
EOEnterpriseObjectClazz<EOEnterpriseObject>(MESAbstractPaymentInfo.ENTITY_NAME).entity();
NSArray<EOEntity> subEntities = entity.subEntities();
NSMutableArray<EOQualifier> qualifiers = new
NSMutableArray<EOQualifier>();
qualifiers.addObject(MESAbstractPaymentInfo.DISPATCH.dot(MESDispatch.RESERVATION_DATE).greaterThanOrEqualTo(controller().startDate()));
qualifiers.addObject(MESAbstractPaymentInfo.DISPATCH.dot(MESDispatch.RESERVATION_DATE).lessThanOrEqualTo(controller().endDate()));
for(EOEntity subEntity : subEntities) {
NSMutableArray<EOQualifier> subEntityQualifiers
= (NSMutableArray<EOQualifier>)qualifiers.clone();
subEntityQualifiers.addObject(subEntity.restrictingQualifier());
NSArray<MESAbstractPaymentInfo>
subEntityPayments =
MESAbstractPaymentInfo.fetchMESAbstractPaymentInfos(controller().ec(), new
EOAndQualifier(subEntityQualifiers), null);
if(subEntityPayments.size() > 0) {
// This is the part I want to change
// I'd like to somehow get the
"displayName" without having to get an object.
// So that even if the result is 0 I
can still create a report for the sub entity.
MESAbstractPaymentInfo paymentInfo =
subEntityPayments.get(0);
ReportForPaymentType report = new
ReportForPaymentType();
report.setPaymentType(paymentInfo.displayName());
report.setDispatchCount(subEntityPayments.size());
report.setTotalRevenue((BigDecimal)subEntityPayments.valueForKey("@sum.amount"));
reports.addObject(report);
}
}
I hope that makes some kind of sense...
