[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-2077) "Make this class and its related classes mapped via JPA"

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2077?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Vitali Yemialyanchyk commented on JBIDE-2077: --------------------------------------------- Here is my view to implement it: 1) Add context menu to "Package Explorer"/"Navigator"/"Java editor" for java class "Make it mapped via JPA"; 2) For class Address (for example) add: @Entity <-- add this // name defaults to the unqualified classname public class Address implements java.io.Serializable { <-- add this // Entity must have a no-argument public or protected constructor <-- add this if no constructor public Address() {} <-- add this if no constructor } 3) for getters: ... @Column(name="addressID") <-- add this public String getAddressID() {} <-- add this - for property-based access for private/protected field - property-based access using getters/setters; for public fieilds - field-based access; @Column(name="addressID") <-- add this - for field-based access public String addressID; 4) for transient properties - add @Transient annotation for getters/setters; 5) for all abstract classes in the bundle add this comment // abstract class can't be an entity <-- add this 6) for all abstract methods in the bundle add this comment // abstract method not suitable for the entity <-- add this 7) try to intellectually define primary id - for example only 1 property in class with name id or property which contains class name and id, "?some other methods?" @Id // primary key <-- add this public String getAddressID() { } 8) try to define composite keys - is it posiible? 9) try to define @OneToMany and @ManyToMany relationships; 10) try to define @Inheritance and it's strategy SINGLE_TABLE - for example; 11) things which is possible to ask the user: a) DB connection for this java classes bundle - if user point it - we could generate better persistent model; b) in common case it is possible to ask the user about any ambiguity in the bundle and possible use checkbox "use deaults" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
