JBoss 3.0 CMP-CMR 2.0
Hi,
we've bought the JBossCMP2.0 Documentation from flashline, and the example provided with it won't run correctly. I can deploy the ear file without any mistakes, but when I try to test it, I get errors, most probably related to the Relation (CMR) between tables because they occurs when the User-Customer entries are created (data are inserted in the tables, but without the foreign-key.. which seems to cause Nullpointer...see StackTrace at the end).
There are so many different version, and the xml files seems to change constantly... I must admit I am a bit lost now... If I compare the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml of the example with the jbosscmp-jdbc.dtd provided with the last downloadable version of JBoss, there are tags in there that are nonexistant in the DTD... (like foreign-key-field for example.. changed to key-field??... or type-mapping when it should in fact be datasource-mapping... and who knows what else...).. How are we supposed to keep track of all this when the documentation and examples don't even explain and use the latest changes? Is there a place where we can get up to date information on the changes that were made in the last few days-weeks-months?
I'm new to JBoss and I am in charge of evaluating the CMP mechanism for possible use. When I first saw the tables automatically created, I was really happy.. not to say quite excited!.. but now, I've been trying to fix the CMR part of the example for 2 days.... and nothing... It is quite frustrating to see that every link, every forums, seems to point in a different direction.. is there a REAL WORKING EXAMPLE of this... or is CMP just an 'utopian fantasy' that we all wish would work... but does not just yet..?? ;)
TIA and keep up the good work guys!
The JBoss community is simply great! Can't wait to be a part of it! (By the way, how can we contrbute?)
Sorry for my poor English... in the mean time, here is the error I get when I execute the test-user target:
