EJB3 Entity: How can I get @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)?

[André]

Hi all,

I've configured an entity attribute as follows:
- Data Type: "java.util.Date" (in "general" tab);
- Persistent Data Type: "Timestamp" (code "TS", in "Detail" tab);

But "preview" tab displays the generated annotation above the attribute:
- @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)

Am I doing something wrong? I think that should be
"@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)".

Thanks,

André.

André,

Try using the "Annotations" tab on the attribute. The persistent data type
is used for model to model generation mappings. The annotation is driven
off the Annotation setting on the attribute itself, based on the data type
of the attribute (not the persistent tab version). Changing the annotation
field to show TIMESTAMP should do the trick.

Thanks, David, but it didn't work.

The "annotations" tab is empty because "@Temporal" is automatically
generated. If I add "@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)" there, PowerDesigner
generates @Temporal twice :(

Maybe is there something to change in the EJB3 extended model definition?

There's some other weird problems with EJB annotations, for example when I
select the Transaction Attribute Type "Not supported" (EJB 3 class tab),
PowerDesigner generates "@TransactionAttribute(Not supported)" when it
should be "@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)".
The workaround here is to type the correct text and add the respective
"import javax.ejb..."

But I cannot find a workaround for @Temporal.

Thanks,

André.

What language and Extended Model Definitions are you using? I might be
using a different set....

I'm using JDK 1_5_0 library, WSDL for Java, EJB 3.0 and Eclipse extended
model definitions.

Thanks,

André.

I think I still need a few more questions answered:

1) What model taregt language?
2) What object did you build?
(Maybe attach an OOM with the object in it)

I do not get an automatic generated @Temporal but I can get whateer I want
in annotations to work - but I am cheating and reverse engineering the right
code to see what the mode gives me because I cannot seem to find the right
way to get the forward engineering results you see.

I think we're getting closer, I just need a little more help.....
