[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2007) new-entity and generate-entities don't use same package name

new-entity and generate-entities don't use same package name ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2007 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2007 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Tools Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Dan Allen Assigned To: Dan Allen Fix For: 2.0.0.CR2 Attachments: JBSEAM-2007-v1.txt Original Estimate: 30 minutes Remaining Estimate: 30 minutes The *Home.java and *List.java classes that are produced by new-entity do not use the same package as the same classes produced by generate-entities. Assuming the entity name is MyEntity, here is how the two actions play out. new-entity: src/action/com/company/action/MyEntityHome.java src/action/com/company/action/MyEntityList.java generate-entities: src/action/com/company/model/MyEntityHome.java src/action/com/company/model/MyEntityList.java Notice that generate-entities uses "model" while the new-entity uses "action". This behavior is due to a limitation in the hbmtemplate task which assumes that the Java files created will be in the same package as the model. However, it is possible to work around this problem. I have created such a patch. I believe that new-entity exhibits the correct behavior and puts the classes in the expected location. The only limitation of doing this patch is that it is necessary to use a star import for the model classes since the hbmtemplate task assumes the current package is the package of the entity (hence even pojo.importType() wouldn't work). However, this shouldn't really be an issue since the IDE can cleanup the star imports. I would much rather have the consistency of the same package. Besides, *List.java and *Home.java are action components, not models.
