[jira] Commented: (GRFT-126) Add support for the "Reference" jcr type

["Christophe Lombart (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GRFT-126?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12478912 ] 

Christophe Lombart commented on GRFT-126:
-----------------------------------------

I just commited the following point : 

* There is a new atomic converter (ReferenceTypeConverterImpl) which can be used to map a String attribute into a jcr property (based on the reference type). 
   ex. :  
		<field-descriptor fieldName="reference2A" jcrName="reference2A" converter="org.apache.portals.graffito.jcr.persistence.atomictypeconverter.impl.ReferenceTypeConverterImpl" /> 

  in this example, the jcr prop "reference2A" will contains a valid uuid. 


* There is a new bean converter (ReferenceBeanConverterImpl) which can be used to map a bean attribute into a jcr reference property. 

ex.: 
		<bean-descriptor fieldName="a" jcrName="a" converter="org.apache.portals.graffito.jcr.persistence.beanconverter.impl.ReferenceBeanConverterImpl" />

In this example, the jcr prop "a'" will contain a valid uuid but in the java object graph, the object matching to this uuid will be loaded. 

* See the unit test : PersistenceManagerUuidTest to get more details. 

I'm going to work on uuid/reference support in collections.

> Supporting reference could be done in different ways. 
> Just a couple of ideas (which required more investigation ) : 
> * Define a field-descriptor which will contain an uuid to point to another object. 
> * Define a bean descriptor which is mapped to a jcr prop of type reference. 
> * Define a collection of properties based on the type "Reference".
> * Define a collection containing some referenced beans.
