Gotcha. Thx for all the help guys. One more situation:
Let's say our game entity can contain an *optional *address. Because the
address data may be used in other contexts we keep that information in a
separate entity/table:
@Entity
public class Game {
@Id
@Validate("required")
public String gameID;
@ManyToOne
@NonVisual
public User gameOwner;
public String gameType;
*
@OneToOne
public Address address;*
}
/**************/
@Entity
public class Address {
@Id
@NonVisual
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
public Long id = (long)0;
private String address1;
private String address2;
private String city;
private String state;
private String country;
private String zipcode;
/**
* @return the id
*/
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
/**
* @param id the id to set
*/
public void setId(Long id) {
//Once id is set, that's it!
if(id>0) return;
this.id = id;
}
...
public Address() {
}
}
Now when a user goes to create a game, I would want them to see the fields
for the game data and the optional address fields. If no address data is
submitted then the game does not keep a reference to address data otherwise
it creates an address record.
When I use the <t:beaneditform object="game"/> in this scenario I will only
get the fields specific to game. Is it best practice here to create a custom
form that contains game and address fields or is there a better way? If not,
is there some way to automatically bind the fields from the form to the
respective entity properties?
