Hi
Does Cayenne force you to have *get* before your property name to create
your get accessor e.g. getName().
I have a table like this
PERSON
id
firstName
lastName
and the Modeler creates these accessors
public class _Person extends CayenneDataObject {
public String getFirstName() ...
public String getLastName() ...
}
Which is fine. I have read you can get custom templates to change this and I
did try by grabbing the default templates from the jar and modifying them
but this did not work. Does anybody know how?
My real problems start here however. In the subclass Person I have this code
public class Person extends _Person {
public String fullName() {
return this.getFirstName() + � � + this.getLastName();
}
}
and when I try and use and Expression to get a particular Person like this
Expression fullNameQualifier = ExpressionFactory.matchExp("fullName", �John
Doe�);
List filteredPersons = fullNameQualifier.filterObjects(personsList);
The List is always empty even though I do have a person named John Doe in my
database (MySQL). But oddly enough if I change my method in the Person class
to be this
public class Person extends _Person {
public String getFullName() {
return this.getFirstName + � � + this.getLastName;
}
}
i.e. change the method name to be getFullName instead of just fullName.
Why must I prefix all my get accessors with *get*? I want to get rid of
*get* in all the super classes too so does anyone have a template I can use
to oust them?
