DataModel and base entity manager

tolot27 Jun 16, 2008 1:12 PM

Hi,

is there a way to override the datamodel annotation in subclasses?

The use case is to have a general base entity manager which handles all the table stuff (new, edit, delete, etc.). This base entity manager should define the data model.

Unfortunately, not more than one subclass can exist at a time because the name attribute can not be used with the annotation at the base class.

Is there a way to get this use case to work with Seam?

Kind regards,

You can use @DataModel on a getter method which allows you to annotate the sub-classes. The following would likely be your method on a sub-class:

@DataModel("myDataModel") public getDataModel() { super.getDataModel(); }

Hope it helps.
