Hello everyone. I reverse-engineered an existing database in Cayenne
modeler -worked very smoothly-then I created a maven project and ran the
cgen plugin on the resulting mapping files (there are 2, one for each of
2 data nodes / schemas). The first worked fine. For the second, in the
generated java POJOs, about half or more of the addTo*Array() and
removeFrom*Array() methods have for a parameter
"$importUtils.formatJavaType(${rel.TargetEntity.ClassName}) obj", which
obviously results in compiler errors. This looks like an unexpanded
variable from the code templates, like maybe it's not being set? Is this
a known bug? Is there a work-around?



Thanks!

Joel

    I am sure I've seen it before. IIRC certain errors in the DataMap caused similar behavior for me. So which version of Cayenne is this and also are there any warnings when you save your project in the Modeler?

    (If we can't come with an answer based on this info, I guess you may open a Jira and attach the problematic DataMap to it so that somebody could debug it, and at least improve the Modeler validation - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY ).

    Cheers,

    (I had to re-subscribe with a different e-mail because of filtering)

    I'm using Cayanne Modeller 3.0.2 and the 3.0.2 maven plug-ings.

    I did have some warnings in the schema (some tables lacked a pk), but
    after fixing them, saving, and re-generating, I get the same errors.

    One final try - if you generate the classes from the Modeler "Tools > Generate Classes" is it resulting in the same problem?

    No errors when generating from the Modeller! So the bug is only between the
    modeller mapping file and the maven cgen plugin. It's less convenient this
    way since it can't just be part of the build, but at least it works. Should
    i file a jira ticket?

    Yes please open a Jira. You will need to attach you map.xml file to the Jira and also post a pice of your pom that invokes cgen - this way we can reproduce it.

    Correct. You need to create an account in Jira, but there is no
    restriction... anyone can do so.
