Add static method EntityHome.wrapInstance and add location for update/persist processing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4057 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4057 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Tools Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Environment: Any Reporter: Valerie Griffin Constructing an EntityHome object really doesn't provide a completely-initialized object. I needed to create EntityHome objects around existing @Entity objects. Once created, these objects can be saved in the database. I created a new static method in the code generated by EntityHome. It's called wrapInstance and , in use, is defined as: static public MyTblHome wrapInstance(MyTbl dat); If there's an id in the MyTbl instance, it is used. Otherwise, an id is created and used. I also changed update and persist: If we get there with a null instance, it's an error so we return "invalid". There are commented locations for pre- and post-update code. For example, the code can automatically save the ID of the user performing an update. There's a catch for validation errors (hibernate InvalidStateException instances). If one is found, all InvalidValue lines are logged and captured foe message output. -- 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
