JPA2DataSource with DMI question

[zdary]

Hi,

I have a Data source defined as follows

<DataSource ID="usersDS"
        serverConstructor="com.isomorphic.jpa.JPA2DataSource"   
        beanClassName="cz.bcom.smartrise.server.persistence.hibernate.UsrUsers"
        dropExtraFields="true">

I'd like to add business logic so I added

<serverObject lookupStyle="new" className="cz.bcom.smartrise.server.persistence.dmi.UsersDMI"/>

In the class I'd like to set values before inserting and also read values after the object has been managed so I declared the method:

public DSResponse add(JPA2Entity record, DSRequest dsRequest) throws Exception {
  record.setActive(true); // this is ignored
  dsRequest.getCriteria().put("active", true); //this works

  DSResponse dsResponse = dsRequest.execute();
  JPA2Entity alreadyManagedEntity= (JPA2Entity)dsResponse.getData();

  System.out.println(alreadyManagedEntity.getId());
}

My asumptions are somehow wrong. I requested the JPA2Entity as a method parameter and I received it but all changes I made on it are ignored when executing dsRequest.execute();

Do I need to set everything as attributes? What about related objects?
dsRequest.getCriteria().put("job", jpa2EntityJob);

best regards,
Zdary

The behavior of automatically filling in a bean is mostly intended for people who would make direct calls to their own custom ORM layers. If you're using DataSources, modify the DSRequest to cause changes to how the DSRequest is executed.
