[Ejbca-develop] Note regarding CMPs

[Stephane B. <ste...@be...>]

While reviewing the code, I noticed the following errors:

AccessRulesDataBean:
The primary key fields are not cmp fields. But the pk hashcode is.=20
XDoclet cannot generate such a PK where 2 fields are not cmp-fields.
I looked at the EJB 2.1 specifications and the current implementation=20
seems wrong:

10.8.2 Primary Key That Maps to Multiple Fields in the Entity Bean Class
[...]
The names of the fields in the primary key class must be a subset of the=20
names of the container-managed fields. (This allows the container to=20
extract the primary key fields from an instance=92s container-managed=20
fields, and vice versa.)


As for other CMPs, they all violate specifications as they should return=20
null in their ejbCreate method

10.5.2 Bean Provider=92s Entity Bean Instance=92s View
[...]
The implementation of the Bean Provider=92s ejbCreate<METHOD> methods=20
should be coded to return a null.[18]
[...]
[18]The above requirement is to allow the creation of an entity bean=20
with bean-managed persistence by subclassing an entity bean
with container-managed persistence.

I will need to fix the AccessRules thing but will add the ejbCreate=20
fixes in the todo list.

Cheers,

Stephane
