How to map a component collection with compass? - collections

I need to map a collection of components with compass (using XML mapping)... Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Example classes:
class ClassA {
private Set<ClassB> bs;
// ... getBs/setBs ...
}
class ClassB {}
Example mapping:
<class name="com.package.ClassA" alias="classA">
<!-- no idea how I can map Set<ClassB> in here... can I? -->
</class>
<class name="com.package.ClassB" alias="classB">
</class>

Yeah, just found out how to do this, the mapping is simple - you just apply the alias to the collection component/reference. Obviously all the rest is done implicitely.
<class name="com.package.ClassA" alias="classA">
<component name="bs" ref-alias="classB" />
</class>
<class name="com.package.ClassB" alias="classB">
</class>

Access nested data in component

Given the parent component in the following context
1.
<parent>
child
</parent>
<parent>
<child />
</parent>
Is there a way to access the nested element from the definition of the parent component?
The solution is to use slots in parent.
example:
<template>
This is the parent with child: <slot />
</template>

Symfony - Sonata admin - override validation

i'm using sonata admin, i tried to override max length allowed for name of categorie
I have an entity MyEntity who extend Application\Sonata\ClassificationBundle\Entity\Category
// MyEntity admin class
I put this following function, regarding https://sonata-project.org/bundles/core/master/doc/reference/conditional_validation.html#inline-validation
public function validate(\Sonata\Form\Validator\ErrorElement $errorElement, $object)
{
parent::validate($errorElement, $object);
$errorElement->with('name')
->assertLength(['max' => 100])
;
}
Current display
Expected to get ride of this 32 max length on name's field
Thx for helping
It looks like what you need to do instead, is override this validation config: https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataClassificationBundle/blob/3.x/src/Resources/config/validation.xml
<class name="Sonata\ClassificationBundle\Model\Category">
<property name="name">
<constraint name="NotBlank"/>
<constraint name="Length">
<option name="min">2</option>
<option name="max">32</option>
</constraint>
</property>
</class>

Castor Hashtable polymorphism

Good Day
I am attempting to use castor to construct a HashTable that has multiple implementations of an abstract class.
here is the parent "config"
<class name="com.Config">
<map-to xml="config" />
<field name="rulesMap" collection="hashtable">
<bind-xml auto-naming="deriveByClass" >
<class name="org.exolab.castor.mapping.MapItem">
<field name="key" type="java.lang.String">
<bind-xml name="name" node="attribute" />
</field>
<field name="value" type=com.Rule">
</field>
</class>
</bind-xml>
</field>
</class>
'com.Rule' is an Abstract Class and
at the end of the day i would like an xml struct that looks like this
<config>
<rule-impl1 name="ruleType1Instance1" ruleField="field" />
<rule-impl2 name="ruleType2Instance2" ruleField="field" ruleImpl2Field1="..." />
</config>
I'm not sure there is enough detail or a question that is well formed here to give an accurate answer, but I was doing something pretty similar and ran into some roadblocks. Thought I'd provide my 2 cents. I'm not as familiar with Castor as I am some other XML frameworks and in my case Castor is doing it's automatic marshalling/unmarshalling instead of us manually writing the code to decide when we want it to be done. If we were manually doing that piece I thought we would have been able to make decisions to unmarshall to specific classes that extend the abstract class.
With all my disclaimers out of the way, what you could do.
**If you can add a field to the request/response then create something like this:
public class RuleContainer {
private RuleType ruleType; // possibly build enum or other non-java equivalent
private RuleImpl1 ruleImpl1;
private RuleImpl2 ruleImpl2;
private RuleImpl...N ruleImpl...N;
// getters & setters, etc
}
Then the value of your table is changed to
<field name="value" type="com.RuleContainer"></field>
and include your mapping of the RuleContainer
<class name="com.RuleContainer">
<field name="ruleType" type="com.RuleType"
<field name="ruleImpl1" type="com.RuleImpl1">
<field name="ruleImpl2" type="com.RuleImpl2">
<field name="ruleImpl...N" type="com.RuleImpl...N">
</class>
also include mappings of each implementation whatever those may look like. In my case I've broken each implementation mapping out into a separate file and used the
<include href="" />
tag to include those extraneous mappings in the parent file.
All of this sets you up to use that RuleType field to know which rule in the RuleContainer is valid (the rest will be null as the Castor default is required="false"). The logic to work with each implementation of a Rule is simple to write from there.
Hope this helps.

#spring.formInput in #list iterator

<#list flowList as flow>
<#spring.formInput "flow.createDatetime" />
</#list>
flowList is arrayList.
freemarker.template.TemplateModelException: Method public org.springframework.web.servlet.support.BindStatus org.springframework.web.servlet.support.RequestContext.getBindStatus(java.lang.String) throws java.lang.IllegalStateException threw an exception when invoked on org.springframework.web.servlet.support.RequestContext#8bc713e with arguments of types [java.lang.String,]
at freemarker.ext.beans.OverloadedMethodModel.exec(OverloadedMethodModel.java:134)
at freemarker.core.MethodCall._getAsTemplateModel(MethodCall.java:93)
How can I resolve #spring.formInput in #list.
Have you tried doing an intermediate assign? I saw this problem on other StackOverflow pages, like Freemarker syntax for a form for a collection of objects (Spring 3 MVC):
<#list flowList as flow>
<#assign flowDate = flow.createDatetime />
<#spring.formInput "flowDate" />
<\#list>
The following workaround works for me, but is pretty ugly:
<#list flowList as flow>
<#assign index=flowList?seq_index_of(flow)>
<#spring.formInput "flowList[${index}].createDatetime" />
</#list>
When the above form is posted, you'll need to ensure that the flow-list is pre-populated with empty flows. Alternatively, just using Spring's AutoPopulatingList as the flow-list implementation.
For spring to bind the object, the exact reference must be provided. Hence you need to add the index in the tag. This is needed when you post the form back and want the flowlist object as request body in a controller method.
<#list flowList as flow>
<#spring.formInput "flowList[${flow_index}].createDatetime" />
</#list>
After rendering if you look at the HTML it would be like
<input type="text" id="flowList0.createDatetime" name="flowList[0].createDatetime" value="..." />

NHibernate One-To-Many Delete Not Cascading

I have a 'Photo' class and a 'Comment' class. An Photo can have multiple comments assigned to it.
I have this configured as a one-to-many relationship within my HBM mapping file, and have set cascade="all-delete-orphan" against the 'Comments' bag within the Photo.hbm.xml mapping file.
However, if I try to delete a Photo which has 1 or more Comments associated with it, I am getting 'The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Comments_Photos"'
I tried a couple of other cascade options against the Comments bag in my Photo.hbm.xml but regardless of what I set it to, I'm getting the same outcome each time. I just want to be able to delete a Photo and have any associated comments automatically delete too.
Here is my Photo mapping (edited for brevity):
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" .... default-access="property" default-cascade="none" default-lazy="true">
<class xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" name="Photo" table="Photos">
<id name="PhotoId" unsaved-value="0">
<column name="PhotoId" />
<generator class="native" />
</id>
...
<bag name="Comments" table="Comments" cascade="all-delete-orphan" order-by="DateTimePosted desc" where="Approved=1">
<key column="PhotoId" />
<one-to-many class="Comment" />
</bag>
</class>
Here is my Comment mapping (edited for brevity):
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" ... default-access="property" default-cascade="none" default-lazy="true">
<class xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" name="Comment" table="Comments">
<id name="CommentId" unsaved-value="0">
<column name="CommentId"></column>
<generator class="native" />
</id>
...
<property name="Author" not-null="true" />
<property name="Body" not-null="true" />
<property name="Approved" not-null="true" />
<many-to-one name="Photo" not-null="true">
<column name="PhotoId" />
</many-to-one>
</class>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the cascade is not happening when I try to delete a Photo with comments associated with it?
UPDATE: The only way I can get the cascade to happen is to configure the 'Delete Rule' within SQL Server against this relationship to 'Cascade', and in doing so means that I don't need to specify any cascade action within my NHibernate Mapping. However, this isn't ideal for me - I'd like to be able to configure the cascade behaviour within the NHibernate Mapping ideally, so I'm still confused as to why it doesn't appear to be taking any notice of my NHibernate cascade setting?
My guess would be that the problem comes from the fact that the many-to-one in the Comment mapping is set to not-null="true".
Because of that, NHibernate is not allowed to set this property to null temporarily before it deletes the Photo object and therefore when is goes about deleting the Photo object SQL Server throws an foreign key exception.
If I remember correctly for the order of actions when deleting is:
Set foreign key value to null in all child objects
Delete parent object
Delete all child references
Try to remove the not-null="true" from the many-to-one and see what will happen.
Try with inverse="true" on the bag collection of your mapping.
I had similar problem for 1 day .. and got frustrated over it.
Finally the solution boiled down to the DB.
I had to change the FK key constraints in "INSERT UPDATE SPECIFICATION"
'Delete Rule' : from 'No Action' to 'Cascade'
additionally you can also set
'Update Rule' : from 'No Action' to 'Cascade'
You can specify the delete-cascade option in NH:
<bag name="Comments" cascade="all-delete-orphan" order-by="DateTimePosted desc" where="Approved=1">
<key column="PhotoId" on-delete="cascade"/>
<one-to-many class="Comment" />
</bag>
You probably should make it inverse. Then I wonder where your FK_Comments_Photos column is specified.
