I've got a situation where I need to obtain the primary key. My
solution was to add a method like so:
public Byte getOfficeId() {
return (getObjectId() != null && !getObjectId().isTemporary())
? (Byte)
getObjectId().getIdSnapshot().get(OFFICE_ID_PK_COLUMN)
: null;
}
However, sometimes I get back a Byte and other times a Short. I've
verified this with getClass().getName()
How exactly does the data type get chosen here? Any suggestions?
I've thought about just testing for the cases where the type is
different and converting it, but it seems like this shouldn't be
happening.
Here's the table definition:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `office` ( `office_id` tinyint(3) unsigned
NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `country_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
`company_id` tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL, `name` varchar(45) NOT
NULL, `address` tinytext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`office_id`), KEY
`office_country_id` (`country_id`), KEY `office_company`
(`company_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
I'm using Cayenne 2.0.4, MySQL 5.1, mysql-connector-java-5.0.5, and
java version "1.5.0_19" (os x)
<db-entity name="office" catalog="prime_pcd2009">
<db-attribute name="address" type="VARCHAR" isMandatory="true"
length="255"/>
<db-attribute name="company_id" type="TINYINT" isMandatory="true"/>
<db-attribute name="country_id" type="SMALLINT" isMandatory="true"
length="5"/>
<db-attribute name="name" type="VARCHAR" isMandatory="true"
length="45"/>
<db-attribute name="office_id" type="TINYINT" isPrimaryKey="true"
isGenerated="true" isMandatory="true" length="3"/>
</db-entity>
