About creating new GenericValue with ModelEntity

[Kiran Khatavkar]

Hi

I want to create a GenericValue using ModelEntity (not a entity defined
in EntityModel.xml)

I am using
ModelEntity me = new ModelEntity();
   
me.addField(new ModelField("abc","String","abc",false));
me.addField(new ModelField("def","String","def",false));
GenericValue gv = GenericValue.create(me);

Is this thing possible?

If it is then
When I use gv.setString("abc","AAAA");
It is failing

Can anybdy help?

Kiran

It is possible to use the objects in this way, but not easy, and they  
really aren't meant for it. There is a lot more to take care of than  
what you mentioned here. To name a couple of them: registering the  
new ModelEntity with the GenericDelegator, and of course taking care  
of the physical table in the database that corresponds with it...

So, what is it that you are trying to do with this anyway?

Perhaps what you are really looking for is a DynamicViewEntity? You  
might want to check out the advanced framework package from Undersun  
to explain for of these and how they are applied.

Thanks David for reply

What I actually need is : I have a bunch of data (NO PHYSICAL TABLE) and
I want to put it in a GenericValue Object.
Is that possible with what I was trying or DynamicViewEntity is better
option. Even for creating DynamicViewEntity if we require a table then I
do not have that.

Is there any other option?


Thanks
Kiran

Why do you want to put it in a GenericValue object?

I guess I'm not following you there...
