MolenisBug

@@ +1 @@
+Problem: cascading deletes on subclass so they can be removed incl superclass object
+
+Problem: If xref_label doesn't exist than the generator gives obscure error.
+Solution: make a check in the language parser
+
+Problem: getGeneratedKeys doesn't work in psql
+Solution: put in a workaround???
+
+Problem: xref requires lots of definition
+Solution: default xref_field to autoid
+
+Problem: everything should have id
+Solution: add a big fat warning
+
+Problem: Files don't seem to be stored in right folder
+Solution: check if path is set correctly
+
+Problem: SoapAPI has its own database instance
+Solution: pass Servlet instance to api to get database
+
+Problem: customizations of servlet are not supported, e.g. for custom soap api.
+Solution: explain in manual how to set a custom class in hand-written that inherits generated one
+
+Problem: subforms are not shown properly for MREFs
+Solution: adapt generator to add mref to their filters.
+
+Problem: plugins tend to depend on a data model module.
+Solution: make data model into modules such that the class name is stable between apps.
+
+Problem: type boolean is not supported
+Solution: edit parser to map boolean to bool
+
+Problem: type mref is not supported for querying!!!
+Solution: hmmmm
+
+= Some bugs that have been reported =
+
+
+Problem: sometimes limited data needs to be loaded with the schema
+Solution: enable a simple syntax to embed data in xml (or a link to csv?)
+
+Issue: one wants to know how active a database instance is
+
+Solution: enable logging on logon, number of queries fired per logon etc. Need a listener for that??? Or just a decorator???
+
+Issue: one can have trouble to find the popup box (e.g. when adding stuff)
+Solution: make that window modal and on top
+
+Issue: sorting doesn't work anymore
+Solution: make it an optional feature
+
+Issue: what if we want to vary the columns dynamically
+Solution: make a dynamic schema as plugin so they can be shown as if they were static
+Alternative: generate tables on the fly.
+
+Issue: what if we want to have an audit trail/"look back in time"?
+Solution: have a versioned data model using additional fields. Can be done using a decorator (similar to security)
+
+Issue: standard decorators should have a shorthand
+Solution: make a type map.
+
+Issue: very annoying that extends and implements cannot be mixed
+Solution: translate extends to implements during parsing
+
+Issue: people may want to add their own data type. E.g. pubmed link
+Solution: mixture of decorator but we also need decorator on GUI level.
+
+Issue: how about querying data between MOLGENIS instances
+Solution: create a virtual user interface on top of existing models and use web services to query those.
+
+Issue: for using ontologies, it would be great to be able to filter the data
+Solution: enable filtering on xrefs
+
+Issue: what if I want to make a portal website, so having some editable pages.
+Solution: need a wiki style page system?
+
+Issue: when extracting mysql the boolean default is '0'
+Solution: cast defaults to their java class
+
+Issue: what if I want to partially generate (so exend existing molgenis instance)
+Solution: adapt language objects to set whether it should be included in generation.
+Requires: that the model is also stored in generated result and that one can "import" this work.
+Requires: that only changes are cascaded (!); so not only changed entities but also those depending (e.g. if xref/mref is affected).
+Issue: what if I want to have my own generator?
+Solution: extend language to include generators
+
+multi column mrefs
+##########
+Fixes: search on xref/list values
+
+Refactorings: clean up the DSL parsing, defaulting and validation steps.
