Test seam-gen against a full real world database model

[luxspes]

I think Seam-gen should be tested against a full real world database models, to reduce its shortcomings (recursion, inheritance, complex primary keys,etc) in an easier way.

Any proposals?

How about the Caveat Emptor model?

Found some problems, here are some of them:

• Seam-gen is not smart enough to detect if an @Entity is abstract and therefore I can only have a List to do queries, but not a Home because you can not instantiate it. It would be extra-nice if it could be smart enougth to call the Editor/View of the subclasses from the List of the parent abstract class (for the creation of new rows).


• Same problem with @Entity with private constructors.


• If a @ManyToOne or @OneToMany only has the getter defined in code (but the setter does not exist or is private) seam-gen should try to deal with it only in a read only form instead of producing code that does not compile.


• If an object has 2 relationships with another: Shipment -> seller -> User, Shipmet ->buyer-> User the generated code uses the name of the @Entity instead of the name of the relationship of the @In of UserHome in ShipmentHome, and therefore they are generated with the same name, that of course, does not compile.


• BankAccout and CreditCard inherit fields from BillingDetails, but the inherited fields are not generated in the .xhtml forms.
