RE: bug report: bad EJB code when related table name is plural

Thanks. I tried using the singular and plural properties but perhaps
didn't use them correctly. I'll give it another shot.

Hi Mark,

This is a known issue. You should be able to work around the problem by
using 'singular' and 'plural' properties in your table definition.

 

example:

 

<table name="X_CLASSES" singular="X_CLASSES" plural="X_CLASSES"......>

 

This is usually what I do because I do not want to get confused between
singular/plural items for my particular projects.  Hopefully this will
help!

name is plural

Middlegen emits bad EJB code that doesn't compile if a related table
name is plural.  For example, a table name of X_CLASSES generates EJBs
that won't compile but X_CLASSES_X compiles just fine.

Specifically, in the build.xml file, I define this relationship:

>               <table name="X_CLASS_SYM" generate="true">
>               </table>
>
>               <table name="X_CLASSES" generate="true">
>                       <crossref fktable="X_CLASS_SYM"
pkcolumn="CLASS_INDEX" fkcolumn="CLASS_INDEX"
name="classesXToClassSymCrossRef"/>
>               </table>

It causes this error:

>compile-ejb:
>    [javac] Compiling 83 source files to
C:\middlegen-2.1\samples\build\classes
>    [javac]
C:\middlegen-2.1\samples\build\gen-src\xtree\ejb\XClassBean.j

>    [javac]                       ^
>    [javac] 1 error

Fortunately, if I rename the table, the generated EJBs compile without
error:

>               <table name="X_CLASSES_X" generate="true">
>                       <crossref fktable="X_CLASS_SYM"
pkcolumn="CLASS_INDEX" fkcolumn="CLASS_INDEX"
name="classesXToClassSymCrossRef"/>
>               </table>

Who maintains the generator code that handles single/plural logic?

Best Regards,
Mark
