    composite primary key generates weird SQL (and lots of it)

    mverbist

      Hi,
      I'm using JBoss 3.0.7 together with XDoclet.
      I'm using the value object pattern.
      I have this 1 entity bean (CountryBean) with a composite key (CODE and LANGUAGE).
      I do a findAll() to get them all and then I loop through the collection, to transform each bean in a value object.

      Executing this took for ages.
      When I debuged it, I noticed that the method getCountryValue() generated SQL, and lots of it.

      In fact , the first Country it tries to transform into ValueObject, this is generated:
      SELECT * FROM Country WHERE (CODE=? AND LANGUAGE=?) OR (CODE=? AND LANGUAGE=?) OR (CODE=? AND LANGUAGE=?) OR ...
      with as many conditions as there are countries.

      Looping through the collection, the number of generated conditions decreases.
      When it comes to the last country, only 1 condition is generated.
      SELECT * FROM Country WHERE (CODE=? AND LANGUAGE=?)

      Anybody an idea as to why it generates the bunch of conditions, in stead of just the 1 (as it does for the last Country, and as it should do I think)?
      And anybody an idea as to how to solve this?

      Thx.
      If needed I can post the sources.
