How to define the EclipseLink annotation for the f

问题:

I'm relativly new to the world of EclipseLink, I've been reading through the documentation, however I'm having a real problem trying to represent the following table.

PTY_NO  |   REF_OBG
6544        45663
6544        1234
6544        97543
6544        1123
6544        77897

Ideally I'd like to represent the above data as follows.

@Entity
@Table(name="FCS_ISSR_OBG")
public class fcs_issr_obg implements Serializable  {

    @Id
    @Column(name="PTY_NO")
    private long pty_no;

    @Column(name="REF_OBG")
    private List<long> ref_obg;

...

As once I have the data in this form I plan to serialize the class into a Coherence cache.

However the annotation I've used doesn't actually compile ...

Any help would be gratefully received.

.. update

The best I've managed to come up with so far is

@Entity
@Table(name="FCS_ISSR_OBG")
public class fcs_issr_obg implements Serializable, PortableObject {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Id
    @Column(name="PTY_NO")
    private long pty_no;

    @ElementCollection(targetClass = Long.class, fetch = EAGER)
    @CollectionTable(
            name = "FCS_ISSR_OBG",
            joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="PTY_NO")
            )
    @Column(name ="REF_OBG")
    private List<Long> collection;

However this results in 2 queries ... which is not really what I'm after.

回答1:

To force any relationship to be fetched with the parent query the @JoinFetch annotation can be used in EclipseLink.

Although, reading the collection in a separate query may be the best solution depending on the data.

You can also use @BatchFetch in EclipseLink to batch fetch a relationship (still 2 queries, but not n+1 queries). I did a comparison on batch and join fetching in my blog recently, see,

I've not been able to test this, but perhaps introducing an embeddable object may reduce the query count. Something like this:

@Entity
@Table(name = "FCS_ISSR_OBG")
public class FCS_ISSR_OBGDto implements Serializable {

  @Column(name = "PTY_NO", nullable = false)
  private Long pty_no;

  private List<REF_OBGDto> REF_OBGs = new ArrayList<REF_OBGDto>();

  @ElementCollection
  @CollectionTable(name = "FCS_ISSR_OBG", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "PTY_NO"))
  @Column(name = "REF_OBG")
  public List<REF_OBGDto> getREF_OBGs() {
    return REF_OBGs;
  }
}

with the embeddable looking like this

@Embeddable
@Table(name = "FCS_ISSR_OBG")
public class REF_OBGDto {

  @Column(name = "REF_OBG")
  public Long ref_obg;

}

You only get the collection when you specifically ask for it. Sorry for the weak answer but I'm limited to what I can test here.
