[jrf-user] setInsertOnly and writeOnce

[Tom M. <tm...@li...>]

I would like to know the relationship between
AbstractColumnSpec.writeOnce() in the JRFBaseSchema.dtd used to generate
database objects and SQL, and TimeStampColumnSpecDbGen.setInsertOnly().

It appears that these are intended to do the same thing, that is, write
a column only on insert, such as a date created Timestamp (which is what
I want to do).

writeOnce is a boolean in
net.sf.jrf.domain.PersistentObjectDynaProperty, so I assume it only
applies if one is using Dynabeans. It does not seem to do anything on
standard domains.

I think what may be missing is an insertOnly attribute for Column in
JRFBaseSchema, and then the code in BaseGenerator to supply
setInsertOnly for the column in the generated domain. Or is there some
other explanation?
