Re: [forge-dev] angular scaffold: parent/child relationship issues

Hi, I wanted to work with AngularJS scaffold in Forge and ask for your help. With Forge2, I did not find the way to install the angularjs-scaffold-x as addon/plugin. Is there some guidance available on how to use oldstyle plugins as addons? Stepping back to Forge 1.4 I successfully created a simple parent/child application. On deployment on Wildfly 8.0.0 CR1 I found following issues: Setup: I created a parent and then a child, the child referencing the parent. Issue 1: - w/o any modifications I got a StackOverflowError in org.codehaus.jackson.map.ser.BeanSerializer because infinite loop between parent/child

My solution was to: - import org.codehaus.jackson/jackson-jaxrs maven dependency (because this is, what Wildfly seems to use per default) - add @JsonManagedReference/@JsonBackReference on the parent.children and child.parent properties resp. Is there some simpler/more obvious fix for the problem? In Fasterxml Jackson 2.x there is a @JsonIdentityInfo, could this be a way to solve the issue? I seem to be unable to activate Fasterxml.Jackson on Wildfly :-/ Issue 2: - by above @JsonBackReference the child.parent property was not serialized and so the reference did not show up as selected in the parents <select> options My solution was to rewrite the EditChildController to check for parent.id from the parents side (because child.parent is empty): for (var idx=0; idx < item.children.length; idx++) { if (item.children[idx].id === $scope.child.id) { $scope.parentSelection = labelObject; $scope.child.parent = wrappedObject; } } Original code: if($scope.child.parent && item.id == $scope.child.parent.id) { $scope.parentSelection = labelObject; $scope.child.parent = wrappedObject; self.original.parent = $scope.child.parent; } Again I ask for your expertise, if this is a problem I introduced by misusing @JsonBackReference or if this needs a fix in the scaffold. Thank you for your great work on Forge and this incredible AngularJS plugin :-) Thomas _______________________________________________ forge-dev mailing list forge-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/forge-dev
