problem using entityqueries
jamesjmp Sep 6, 2007 12:30 PMhello,
This issue is somehow strange, so I provide you with the related code to make my explanation clear.
I´ve defined this entity-query in my components.xml file.
<framework:entity-query name="RstReportTemplate2" ejbql="select rstReport from RstReport rstReport" order="code"> </framework:entity-query>
If I use it directly from a view xhtml file it works ok. For example
</rich:dataTable>
<rich:dataTable id="RstReportTemplate2"
var="rstReport"
value="#{RstReportTemplate2.resultList}"
rendered="#{not empty RstReportTemplate2.resultList}">
<h:column>
#{rstReport.code}
</h:column>
</rich:dataTable>I want to use it from a POJO. I´ve a POJO that uses this query this way:
@Name("RstReportTemp")
public class RstReportTemplate {
@In("#{RstReportTemplate2.resultList}") List<RstReport> rstRepTemplates;
public RstReportTemplate() {
}
public void processTemplate() {
Iterator<RstReport> rstReportTemp = rstRepTemplates.iterator();
if (rstRepTemplates != null) {
while (rstReportTemp.hasNext()) {
// business logic code
}
}else {
System.out.println("THERE ARE --NO-- RECORDS MATCHING RstReportTemplate2");
}
}
}
When invoking to this POJO from a pojoview.page.xml with an action it works fine
<action execute="#{RstReportTemp.processTemplate}"/>Now, here is my problem. I want to invoke that method, RstReportTemp.processTemplate, from the wire method of a POJOHome.
I´m doing it this way:
@Name("rstReportHome")
public class RstReportHome extends EntityHome<RstReport> {
public void wire() {
...
RstReportTemplate repTemp = new RstReportTemplate();
repTemp.processTemplate(rep);
..
}
...}This time the query doesn´t return any value, in fact the resulting List rstRepTemplates is null.
I don´t understand why the same query (with no restrictions) works fine when used directly from a view or from a POJO which is invoked by an execute of a .page.xml, but doesn´t behave the same way when it is used from a POJO which has been invoked from a different POJO.
I don´t want to have my business logic code in the POJOHome java class, that´s why I´m using another one and invoking from the wire method.
thanks in advance,
Jaime
