Andrus Adamchik commented on CAY-912:
-------------------------------------
Andrea, I have no comments on the essence of your question, but please check out this page for the state of the DataViews technology in Cayenne (it is excluded from the core in 3.0 and not supported by the current group of committers) :
http://cwiki.apache.org/CAYDV/
A number of people want to keep this technology alive, although nobody stepped up to do that within Cayenne (although there is a fork somewhere). Not very encouraging I guess, but that's where things are.
> Lookup fields not working on jtable
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CAY-912
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-912
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: DataViews
> Affects Versions: 2.0 [STABLE]
> Environment: JRE 1.5 + Windows Vista :-(
> Reporter: borgo
> Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
>
> I have tried to use DataViews with the following example code (http://cayenne.apache.org/doc20/dataviews-in-action.html)
> The DataViews documentation It's not clear about use the lookup when editing a JTable.
> Two problem arise:
> 1) Lookups combobox are always empty
> I have look at createTableCellEditor() methods in CellEditors
> Here the method field.getLookupValues() returns always an empty list.
> The cause is getRootOwner().getLookupCache().getCachedValues(lookupField) that returns always an empty list.
> I think it's because I haven't setting any data in the cache.
> But how could I do that ? Does I need to create query in the modeller ?
> Unluckly, documentation and examples doesn't help to understand how cache and lookup fields works.
> 2) So I have tried to use a custom method to load the lookup combobox.
> Here is another problem: when I pickup an element, the cell in the table is not updated and becomes empty.
> there is no way to update the cell choosing elements from the combo.
> I'm very interested in DataViews. My first reason to use Cayenne is the presence of DataViews.
> I'd like to give my contributes to that project but first we need a working base to develop on.
