1. Re: table joins using CMP and EJB QL
mlapolla Sep 24, 2002 3:46 PM (in response to mlapolla)I love this. I am replying to myself.
BTW, I found much of what I needed in Professional EJB published by WROX but not everything. Does someone know a better reference. I looked up the EJB QL reference on line but a better explanation would be good. More like the WROX book.
Thanks. -

3. Re: table joins using CMP and EJB QL
mlapolla Sep 24, 2002 10:34 PM (in response to mlapolla)The spec is good but now that I have a gotten the EJB QL to work, how do I recover the data.
I am using JBuilder7 and now my EJB QL looks like this:
select object(a) from Account a, SubscriberAccount sa where a.accountid = sa.accountid and sa.subscriberid = ?1
All well and good. But when I get my RemoteInterface back, it does not include the results from the sa table. They getSubscriber() method has no remote interface and when I put one on it, I get an error stating that a client is not allowed to directly access the data form a CMP RDBMS persistence manager.
So, how do I get this Cartesian product back to the client?
Do I have to process it on the server and send it back as a value object? Or a collection of value objects? That seems bogus.
Thanks. -

jcordes Sep 25, 2002 10:16 AM (in response to mlapolla)Hi !
With EJB-QL you can only return either single fields/objects or collections of these. I think you're trying to send back a union of Account and SubscriberAccount (how are they related n-1 ?). You would have to encapsulate the data in a value-object (as you suspected), combining the fields of Account and SubscriberAccount (which really only makes sense if subscriberid is not unique). Did you declare to return Remote-Interfaces on your query (or what do you mean by "when I get my RemoteInterface back", default is LocalInterfaces) ?
BTW: Is not a cartesian product ;-).
Bye,

mlapolla Oct 2, 2002 1:53 PM (in response to mlapolla)The book calls them cartesian joins.
Thanks for the info.
Right. I used a value object and then had to populate it and returned a collection. Painful but doable.
This is what, I assume, a facade is for. To aggregate joins and other related objects.
Now, I have another question. If I want to create a PK, in oracle, I can use a sequence to create the next PK for me. How do I map an e bean or in some other way access that sequence so that I can have a unique PK each time.
I could use a table an map an e bean to it but that's not as nice as using Oracle sequences.
Thanks again.
