After having changed a value in the Film Editor, if you try to save your change into the database, an error occurs:


This error is caused by a inaccurate mapping of the special type year of the column “release_year” in the table Film of the mysql database. 

release_year year(4)
is mapped in: 
private Date releaseYear;

In order to fix the problem, you must apply these 4 changes:

Changes on Film.java file

Update 

	private Date releaseYear;
	
	...
	
    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    @Column(name="release_year", length=0)
    public Date getReleaseYear() {
        return this.releaseYear;
    }
    
    public void setReleaseYear(Date releaseYear) {
        this.releaseYear = releaseYear;
    }
by 
	private Date releaseYear;
	
	...
	
    @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
    @Column(name="release_year", length=0)
    public Date getReleaseYear() {
        return this.releaseYear;
    }
    
    public void setReleaseYear(Date releaseYear) {
        this.releaseYear = releaseYear;
    }

Regenerate EJB is you use a application server.


Changes on FilmDI.axml file

Update 

      <dateText property="releaseYear" style="SWT.BORDER | AdiSWT.DELETE_BUTTON" id="releaseYear"/>
by 
        <formattedText editPattern="####" format="Integer" property="releaseYear" id="releaseYear">
            <validators>
                <validator key="invalidYear" errorMessage="#MSG(film, invalid.year.value, #FV())">
                    <errorWhen>return #FV() &lt; 1900 ||  #FV() &gt; 2155;</errorWhen>
                </validator>
            </validators>
        </formattedText>

Changes on FilmTI.axml file

Update 

        <tableColumn property="releaseYear" sorted="true" id="releaseYearTC"/>
by 
        <tableColumn property="releaseYear" pattern="#####" sorted="true" id="releaseYearTC"/>

Changes on film.properties file

add line: 

invalid.year.value = Invalid year '{0}'! Value must be between 1900 and 2155


Update Scenario.xml to inject changes inside automatic generation process

By modifying the Scenario.xml file as follows, you force the automatic generation process to include changes described above.


Update 

        <pluginEntity entityURI="adi://myproject/model.film/FilmMM">
            <generationUnit adiResourceURI="adi://model.film/FilmMM" type="ENTITY"/>
            <generationUnit adiResourceURI="adi://model.film/FilmQUERY" type="QUERY"/>

            </messages>
            <propertyField id="releaseYear" pojoType="int">
                <controlField xsi:type="formattedTextType" editPattern="####" format="Integer">

                </controlField>
            </propertyField>
        </pluginEntity>

Each time, you decide to relaunch a generation process, these modifications will be made in appropriate files.

Line 159:add an item in FilmGENERATED.properties file.
Line 161:Type for release_year is int. Change will automatically be made in the accurate pojo (fFilm.java).
Line 162:The controller linked to release_year will be a FormattedText controller.
Lines 164-166:Add a validator: value of the property must be between 1900 and 2155.



These intended modifications can be stored in a customized Scenario Tree which will be merged to the standard Scenario Tree as shown in this page.
