---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XDT-1503
    Summary: Bug in value object with generated primary key, only default constructor works
       Type: Bug

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: XDoclet
   Versions:
             1.2.3

Environment: jvm 1.4.2, Mac OS X

Description:
I have included partical code below from one of my generated VO's. 

The problem is with the non-default constructor.  From the example below, the first thing the non default constructor does is call the SetParentType method, in the setParentType it attempts to set the parentType property in the primary key, the problem is that the primary key hasn't been initialized yet, thus the non-default constructor will always end up with a null pointer exception.



public class LinkValue
   extends java.lang.Object
   implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable 
{

 . . . 

   private com.psasoft.inventory.pk.LinkCPK primaryKey;

   public LinkValue()
   {
	  primaryKey = new com.psasoft.inventory.pk.LinkCPK();
   }

   public LinkValue( java.lang.String parentType,java.lang.Integer parentId,java.lang.String childType,java.lang.Integer childId )
   {
       setParentType(parentType);
       setParentId(parentId);
       setChildType(childType);
       setChildId(childId);
       primaryKey = new com.psasoft.inventory.pk.LinkCPK(this.getParentType(),this.getParentId(),this.getChildType(),this.getChildId());
   }


 . . .

   public void setParentType( java.lang.String parentType )
   {
	  this.parentType = parentType;
	  parentTypeHasBeenSet = true;

      primaryKey.setParentType(parentType);
   }

}
