Problem:
More descriptive, precise error messages when attempting to use the ORM features would be very helpful to debug mistakes made, especially when defining properties of an entity that is persisted using hibernate. Something else that would be helpful in this regard would be more complete documentation outlining how to define relationships between entities, with examples that include a wider variety of parameters.
Method:
Leave a semicolon off the end of a property definition in a component with persistent="true" for instance, reload the application calling ormReload(), and the error message returned is:Mapping for component Employee not found. Either the mapping for this component is missing or the application must be restarted to generate the mapping.orIf the property attribute fkcolumn isn't properly specified, a range of difficult to decipher error messages might be returned, such as "Error during DDL export. Can't create table './puli/#sql-53_4b.frm' (errno: 150) "There are many property attributes possible that aren't covered in a thorough manner in the documentation, and trying to get these properties correctly defined for more complex real world applications leaves a developer working somewhat in the dark. Thanks for any enhancement here you can provide.
