Perfect. That worked—thanks for the help!
I’ve made some pretty good progress—you can save entities and some
associations, and retrieve some properties lazily. Unfortunately, I’m having a
bit of trouble with getting access to all of the type information I need.
In particular, say you have the hierarchy:
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS) (1)
@Entity
@Table(name = “persistable”)
Public class Persistable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
Long id;
@Basic
String persistableName;
}
@Entity
@Table(“person_table”)
Public class Person extends Persistable {
@Basic
@Column(name = “first_name”)
String firstName;
@Basic
@Column
String lastName;
}
I need to generate the schema:
:persistable/persistableName
:Person/first_name
:Person/lastName
And access it from a few contexts.
Schema Definition
When generating the schema, I need to be able to get the table name, which I
was able to from the EntityPersisters available in SessionFactoryImpl. From
there, I needed to be able to get each property on each class, its type, and
its alias (as defined by @Column), which I couldn’t figure out how to do. I
looked through both the EntityMetamodel and the ClassMetamodels on each
persister, but it wasn’t clear how to get that.
Looking in the ClassMetadata, I found the property names, but that included all
of the properties for all of the linear supertypes of the associated entity.
Looking at the EntityMetamodel, I found I could get all of the properties, but
I couldn’t figure out how to filter out the properties declared in the current
entity type.
I ended up scanning the annotations again to get the information I needed to
generate the schema, which doesn’t seem like a good solution.
Now, I’m running into the same problem retrieving a tuple:
public Tuple getTuple(EntityKey k, TupleContext c) {
final Long id = getOrThrowUnexpectedId(k);
final Entity entity = retrieveEntity(id);
return new Tuple(new LazyEntityBackedTupleSnapshot(entity, tupleContext));
}
public class LazyEntityBackedTupleSnapshot implements TupleSnapshot {
final Entity entity;
final TupleContext context;
//constructor, etc.
public Object get(String column) {
return entity.get(column);
}
}
Now, the problem is, say the entity that I retrieved was a Person. If I call
p.getPersistableName() , then entity.get(column) needs to be
Entity.get(“:persistable/persistableName”) to get the value. I could search
through the linear supertypes of the current type if I could get it. I notice
that the actual TupleContext that I’m getting has an OptionsContextImpl with an
entity type that I can use to search for the appropriate entity type, but
that’s private, and I don’t want to use reflection to get it.
I’m sure I’m just missing some cool feature of OGM here, and couldn’t find it
looking through the other implementations. Any additional help would be
fantastic.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Question about substituting IDs in Hibernate OGM
Hi Josiah,
It's great to hear that you are working an a backend for Hibernate OGM!
Regarding ids, it should work for you if they are mapped using the IDENTITY
strategy:
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
Long id;
This causes the Hibernate ORM engine to read back the id value generated by the
datastore upon insertion. To make it work, your GridDialect for OGM needs to
implement the IdentityColumnAwareGridDialect facet [1]. You can check out the
MongoDB dialect for an example.
If this works and this kind of id generation is the only one which is useful
for Datomic (i.e. table/sequence strategies don't make any sense), you may
validate mapped entities by means of a SchemaDefiner [2] (an experimental
contract of OGM). An example is CouchDBSchemaDefiner.
Let us know how it goes or in case you run into any other issues.

Hi folks,
I'm creating a Hibernate OGM implementation for Datomic, and I have a question
about IDs.
Say I have the entity
@Entity
public class Person {
@Id
@GeneratedValue
Long id;
}
In Datomic, you have to assign a temporary ID before submitting the
transaction. Datomic will then return the actual persistence ID after the
transaction has completed. My question is, how can I get the actual ID back
into the entity?
Thanks!
Josiah
