Subject: Re: Creating multiple datamaps on the fly

Hello,
Some time ago, I asked about creating multiple datamaps by cloning an
existing one, which worked fine initially, and now I find an odd hiccup when
using the cloned datamap for something more involved than a simple
SelectQuery. When I try to perform a query with a simple
"likeIgnoreCaseExp", I get the following exception:

*No reverse relationship exist for
org.apache.cayenne.map.DbRelationship@8ddb93
[name=toSourceEntity,toMany=false]*


When I debug my cloning code, part of it cycles through the DbEntities with
this method:
    public DbEntity cloneDbEntity(DbEntity originalDbEntity, String
newDbEntityName) {
        DbEntity returnDbEntity = new DbEntity(newDbEntityName);
        returnDbEntity.setSchema(originalDbEntity.getSchema());
        returnDbEntity.setCatalog(originalDbEntity.getCatalog());
        for (DbAttribute dbAttribute : originalDbEntity.getAttributes()) {
            returnDbEntity.addAttribute(dbAttribute);
        }
        for (DbRelationship dbRelationship :
originalDbEntity.getRelationships()) {
            returnDbEntity.addRelationship(dbRelationship);
        }
        return returnDbEntity;
    }

When I look at the dbRelationships that are iterated through, each have a
properly defined reverseRelationship. When I inspect the returnDbEntity that
is produced, I get the exception:

Entity 'assoc' has no parent MappingNamespace (such as DataMap)


This error may be nothing--the map appears to work, but I'm still stymied by
the lack of a reverse relationship when I go to execute the SelectQuery. Can
anyone tell what I am missing here? Is there a better example of cloning a
DataMap?

Thanks,

Lawrence
