Question

I´ve got this Model on my Play application.

@Entity
@Table(name="SHOPPER")
public class User extends GenericModel {

    ...

    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JoinColumn(name = "SASHNBR", insertable = true, updatable = true)
    public List<Direction> directions;
}

The Direction Model looks like this

@Entity
@Table(name="SHADDR")
public class Direccion extends GenericModel {

    ...

    @Column(name="SASHNBR")
    @Required
    public Long idUser;
}

This way I´ve got an error because Direction doens’t have the idUser generated when saving.

I´ve tried this way too.

@Entity
@Table(name="SHOPPER")
public class User extends GenericModel {

    ...

    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="user")
    public List<Direction> directions;
}

The Direction Model looks like this

@Entity
@Table(name="SHADDR")
public class Direccion extends GenericModel {

    ...

    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinColumn(name = "SASHNBR", insertable = true, updatable = true)
    User user;
}

But it didn’t work either.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks! 🙂

You will need to save the children your self. You can look at the tutorial for an example.

public User addDirection(Direction direction) {    
    this.directions.add(direction);
    this.save();
    return this;
}

@Override
public User save(){
    for (Direction dir : directions) {
        dir.save()
    }
    super.save()
    return this;
}
