Thank you for the help.
I have more questions.
setPersistenceState
1. Does this go into the class extending your autogenerated class?
2. I removed the pk id from objEntity, but my table returns a null value for
id.
I am using the click framework also for my table.

Hi!
Do not add the id to the properties exposed by the autogenerated object.
Just add the id property to the class extending your autogenerated class
and use
DataObjectUtils.pkForObject(this);
to return the pk for the object (may or may not work, I'm not sure how
auto_increment is handled by Cayenne in this case).
As an alternative, you may want to define another key for accessing the
object. In that case you have to make sure that this reference to the
object is a) unique and b) that the property is set if the object is
newly created:
public void setPersistenceState(int state)
{
super.setPersistenceState(state);
// if the object was just created, set initial values
if (state == PersistenceState.NEW)
{
// Set all initial values here
Timestamp now = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
String digest = "" + this.hashCode() + now.getTime();
this.setRecordCreated(now);
this.setExternalReference(MD5.getDigestAsHex(digest));
}
}
Make the property "external_reference" a unique key. This does also
secure
your application as the user cannot increment the id to see some
other objects
that he may not be allowed to see, if this kind of security is of
interest.
