  • 0

Here’s my problem: I have different entities linked to others up to a nesting depth of 3. All my foreign fields in every object are annotated with 

@DatabaseField(foreign = true, foreignAutoRefresh = true)

But only up to a nesting depth of 2 I get actual autoRefreshed foreign objects.

For example, if I query for an A entity and then I do:

A.getB().getC().getD()

for entities B and C I already have all the fields, while for entity D I only have the ID fetched and I need to call the dao.refresh() method in order to fetch all of the D fields. Is it a limitation? I can’t find anything about it on the documentation.

    I solved the issue by adding the annotation attribute maxForeignAutoRefreshLevel = 3 on the C entity, and D gets now refreshed.

    The strange thing is that I didn’t need to set maxForeignAutoRefreshLevel in neither A, B or D.

    Another detail is that if I set to 2 the level for the C entity, D doesn’t get refreshed anymore. Seems like the maxForeignAutoRefreshLevel = 3 gets applied from the C entity to the “starting” entity, in my case A.
