[news.eclipse.technology.dali] Re: Generate Entities from Tables not wor

[Bill.Blalock@xxxxxxxx (Bill Blalock)]

Neil:

I tried WTP/Dali 3.1/2.2 M6 -

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.1/S-3.1M6-20090318020101/

with newly released Eclipselink 1.1

I am still getting similar results.  Some of the problems:

Project > properties > Java Persistence
 Override default catalog from connection DOES see the catalog on the i5
 Override default schema from connection DOES NOT not any schemas.
It sees the catalog of the i5, that seems to indicate the connection is 
partially working.

Java Editor throws validation errors when the database is connected.

New > JPA > Generate Entity From Table
 Does not show any schemas when the database is connected.

The schema and table names on this i5 are not SQL friendly.  Could that be 
a problem?  Our schema and table names include these special characters.

 @  $  # and digits 0 - 9.

Our schema and table names start with a letter, @, $ or #.  The data 
source explorer handles this.  Could this non-standard table and schema 
names be the cause of the problem?  

These are the key errors begin logged.  It looks like each time the schema 
is requested there is a failure logged.  My experiments boil down to three 
initial errors (for the three problems I listed above?)

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at 
org.eclipse.jpt.ui.internal.wizards.gen.TableAssociationsWizardPage.updateAssociationsListPanel(TableAssociationsWizardPage.java:560)

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at 
org.eclipse.jpt.ui.internal.wizards.gen.TablesAndColumnsCustomizationWizardPage.setVisible(TablesAndColumnsCustomizationWizardPage.java:149)

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at 
org.eclipse.jpt.ui.internal.wizards.gen.GenerateEntitiesFromSchemaWizard.performFinish(GenerateEntitiesFromSchemaWizard.java:206)


Over the next few days I am going to try debugging as suggested earlier in 
this thread.


Thanks
