[hibernate-users] Help with creating a collection of composite elements]

[Frank Kyle]

Hibernators:

   Can anyone help with hibernate xdoclet syntax?  Here's what I am 
trying to do:

   I want to create a collection (an array) of "Instruction"objects.  
The code to
create the collection presently looks like this:

   /**
    * @hibernate.array name="program"
    *              table="VUNET.GROUP_CODE"
    *              lazy="true"
    * @hibernate.collection-key column="GRP_ID"
    *              on-delete="cascade"
    * @hibernate.collection-index column="SEQ"
    *              base="1"
    * @hibernate.collection-composite-element
    *              class="Instruction"
    */
   public Instruction[] getProgram(){
       return this.program;
   }
   public void setProgram(Instruction[] program){
       this.program = program;
   }


The "Instruction" class looks like this:

public class Instruction implements Serializable {

   private Character operation;
   private Long argument;
     /**
    * @hibernate.property
    */
   public Character getOperation(){
       return this.operation;
   }
   public void setOperation(Character operation){
       this.operation=operation;
   }
     /**
    * @hibernate.property
    */
   public Long getArgument(){
       return this.argument;
   }
   public void setArgument(Long argument){
       this.argument=argument;
   }
}


And finally, the (legacy) database table contains the columns:

   GRP_ID       Long   A foreign key
   SEQ            int        A sequence number
   OP_COD    char    A value for Instruction.operator
   ARG_ID    Long    A value for Instruction.argument

The question is:

   How can I modify the collection definition to point the
collection composite element properties to the last two
columns of the table?  Or maybe, what is a better way to do this?

   Thanks ahead of time.
