Question

I have an entity A with a relation ManyToOne with B but A and B doesn’t belong to the same DB schema.

Entity ‘A’ belongs to MyBundle bundle, and entity ‘B’ belongs to MyOtherBundle bundle.

The official documentation explain how to work with different connections : multiple schemas = multiple entity manager. But in my case I would like to join both entities.

By doing :

$this->objEm->getRepository('MyBundle:MyEntity')->find($id);

or

$this->objEm->getRepository('MyBundle:MyEntity')->getMyResult($id);

I only call one of my repository, and I guess he’s not able to get the other because in my config.yml I can chose only one connection.

doctrine:
  dbal:
   connections:
     connection1:
       driver:   "%database_driver%"
       host:     "%database_host%"
       port:     "%database_port%"
       dbname:   "%database_name%"
       user:     "%database_schema1_user%"
       password: "%database_schema1_password%"
       service:  "%database_service%"
       charset:  "Windows-1252"
     connection2:
       driver:   "%database_driver%"
       host:     "%database_host%"
       port:     "%database_port%"
       dbname:   "%database_name%"
       user:     "%database_schema2_user%"
       password: "%database_schema2_password%"
       service:  "%database_service%"
       charset:  "Windows-1252"

orm:
  entity_managers:
    em1:
      connection:       connection1
      mappings:
              MyBundle: ~
              MyOtherBundle: ~
    em2:
      connection:       connection2
      mappings:
              MyOtherBundle: ~

Result : Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

1/1ReflectionException: Class FQCN\Of\MyBundle\Entity\B does not exist …

“I know it doesn’t exist dude, I want you to look at the good place now : like at FQCN\Of\MyOtherBundle\Entity\B”

How can I force the path to my entity ‘B’?

Answer 1

Problem solved ! It had absolutely nothing to do with databases schema nor annotations.

In entity A, one of my personnal setter was forcing type in parameter :

public function setB(B $objB) { //... }

… and I forgot to use B’s FQCN ! That’s why it was using A’s one.

Next time I won’t declare FQCN in the annotation to oblige me to use it at the beginning of my class ! 🙂
