Re: Specifying the PK manually (Torque 3.1)

[Thomas Fischer <tf...@apache.org>]

Hi,

From a simple point of view, the behavoiur you describe is not what one 
would want.
However, I am of the opinion that this should not be changed in the 
forthcoming 3.2 release, because it would break backwards compatibility.

Internally, doInsert calls the generated method BaseAuthorPeer.buildCriteria(), which 
inserts the Id only if the author is not new. The buildCriteria() method 
is also called from the doUpdate methods, and also in the Manager class, 
and cannot be changed easily. Of course, one can create Yet Another Method 
to accomplish this, making the classes even more complicated, which I 
would want to avoid.

If you want, open a Bug report in scarab, it might be considered in a post 
3.2 release (also depends on what the other deveolpers think about it)
