Entity Relationship for One-to-Many and Many-to-Many

[Gnaniyar Zubair, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Is there any fix available for one to Many or Many to Many issues for Liferay 6.1 GA2. ?

Liferay service builder 6.0.0 DTD file is clearly mentioned like this :

If the entity and mapping-key attributes are specified and mapping-table is not,
then the Service Builder will assume you are specifying a one to many
relationship.

For example:

<column
name="shoppingItemPrices"
type="Collection"
entity="ShoppingItemPrice"
mapping-key="itemId"
/>

But It throws the exception when we try to give the relationship with two entities in service.xml as below:

<column name="bookId" type="Collections" entity="Book" mapping-key="bookId" />
<column name="bookId" type="Collections" entity="Book" mapping-table="library_book" />

Any clarification from community / liferay team?

Thanks in advance

One to many is partially supported (although not completely), and many to many is not supported at all.

Your best path in Service Builder is to stick w/ simple entities and manage the relationships yourself.

Thanks David.

About Many-to-Many in DTD file:

If the entity and mapping-table attributes are specified and mapping-key is not,
then the Service Builder will assume you are specifying a many to many
relationship.

For example:

<column
name="roles"
type="Collection"
entity="Role"
mapping-table="Groups_Roles"
/>

Are you telling to manage everything through finder methods..?

You can define them in the service.xml file, but the generated interfaces will not have the collections in them for CRUD activitities.

So yes, you end up having to manage relationships on your own...

Dear All,

I have a different problem. I'd like to make a many-to-many relation between fields of the same entity. Is there any way to do that?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Riccardo

um, i think that violates the whole relational data model, unless you're talking about creating finders to return a list of entities that match a search criteria or something...

<column
