Wt::Dbo

Added by Thomas Saquet about 12 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to create a primary key from a foreign key and another value, following the tutorial.

I created a struct for the primary key :

struct PrimaryKey
{
    int itemId;
    Wt::Dbo::ptr<Organization> orga;

    PrimaryKey(int id, Wt::Dbo::ptr<Organization> ptr)
        : itemId(id), orga(ptr) { }

    PrimaryKey(){ }

    [...]
};

Then i overloaded the field() function, and i tried to use my type as a primary key :

class Item
{
    public:
        Item();
        virtual ~Item();


        PrimaryKey pk;

        template <class Action>
        void field(Action& a, PrimaryKey& pk,
                   const std::string& name, int size = -1)
        {
            field(a, pk.itemId, "ITE_ID");
            field(a, pk.orga, "ORG_ID");
        }

        template<class Action>
        void persist(Action& a)
        {
            Wt::Dbo::id (a, pk, "PRIMARY_KEY_TEST");

            Wt::Dbo::belongsTo(a, pk.orga, "FOREIGN_KEY_TEST");

            [..]
        }

};

When i compile, i have :

 /usr/local/include/Wt/Dbo/DbAction_impl.h:456:5: erreur: no matching function for call to ‘Wt::Dbo::MetaDbo<Probe>::setId(PrimaryKey&)’

I tried to put the const keywork in front of the declaration, but the error is coming after :

no matching function for call to ‘belongsTo(Wt::Dbo::TransactionDoneAction&, const Wt::Dbo::ptr<Organization>&, const char [17])’

I certainly missed something but i don't understand what. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thomas

... Forgot to complete the title, sorry.

Wt::Dbo foreign key in a composite primary key

RE: Wt::Dbo - Added by Saif Rehman about 12 years ago

I don't know about the compile error.

But there is another problem.

Fixed in this

class Item
{
    public:
        Item();
        virtual ~Item();

        PrimaryKey pk;

        template <class Action>
        void field(Action& a, PrimaryKey& pk,
                   const std::string& name, int size = -1)
        {
            field(a, pk.itemId, "ITE_ID");
            Wt::Dbo::belongsTo(a, pk.orga, "ORG_ID");
        }

        template<class Action>
        void persist(Action& a)
        {
            Wt::Dbo::id (a, pk, "PRIMARY_KEY_TEST");

            [..]
        }

};

RE: Wt::Dbo - Added by Thomas Saquet about 12 years ago

Ok thank you, I think I understand, i would certainly have had a problem about that after.

But it doesn't solve my current problem if anyone has a clue it would be great :)

RE: Wt::Dbo - Added by Saif Rehman about 12 years ago

If you could post a test file then I'll be able to reproduce it

RE: Wt::Dbo - Added by Saif Rehman about 12 years ago

Found and fixed the problem

namespace Wt
{
    namespace Dbo
    {
        template <class Action>
        void field(Action& a, PrimaryKey& pk,
                   const std::string& name, int size = -1)
        {
            field(a, pk.itemId, "ITE_ID");
            Wt::Dbo::belongsTo(a, pk.orga, "ORG_ID");
        }
    }
}

class Item
{
    public:
        Item();
        virtual ~Item();

        PrimaryKey pk;

        template<class Action>
        void persist(Action& a)
        {
            Wt::Dbo::id (a, pk, "PRIMARY_KEY_TEST");

            [..]
        }

};

You are supposed to overload the Wt::Dbo::field() function. What you did was created a function Item::field() in class Item.

RE: Wt::Dbo : new example - Added by Thomas Saquet about 12 years ago

Hello,

Thank you again for this new piece of code, but it doesn't solve my orignal problem and I now found out what happened.

The struct containing my composite key was not recognized as an IdType. This problem, and many others I had, were due to my lack of knowledges about c (include, forward declaration) and my will of separating classes and to not have everything in the same place.

I took the tutorial and put it in different files. It now compiles and works, you can find the source code here :

https://redmine.gayuxweb.fr/projects/wtdboex

It will remain online for beginner people like me.

Hey,

Thanks. This is useful indeed, I guess I never considered these issues which are indeed not evident, certainly not from the tutorial.

Care if I add this version as a Wt example to Wt itself ?

Regards,

koen

Hello Koen,

No problem, first it is mainly your own source code and second it will be more helpfull added directly to wt than on my redmine :)

The database I work on is a bit larger (about 50 tables) and the source code becomes quite important. I will try to publish the source code once it is finished to provide a full example and to have your opinion about how complicated the "include management" is.

Regards,

Thomas
