Example sourcecode with pitfalls I stumpled upon

[Benjamin Gudehus]

Hi, everyone!

I've documented three pitfalls I stumpled upon when using Ebean.

Ebean: Pitfalls I stumpled upon.

http://pastebin.com/007yBemh

- Pitfall #1: Used special characters in the name of ServerConfig

- Pitfall #2: Forgot to implement getters and setters in the entity bean

- Pitfall #3. Connection in QueryIterator wasn't closed

I also created this Short, Self Contained, Correct Example (SSCCE) to provide a very simple 

example to programmatically configure and use Ebean.

Some years ago I provided a patch to the bug "Behavior of NamingConvention for table names" 

and also provided an example on how to disable logging to files completely (this is included in 

the SSCCE).

There is another patch to completely disable generation of textfiles with SQL statements to 

drop and generate tables using DDL in the works.

One currently has to run the DDL manually. Code related:

this.serverConfig.setDdlRun(false);

this.serverConfig.setDdlGenerate(true);

this.ebeanServer = EbeanServerFactory.create(this.serverConfig);

DdlGenerator generator = ((DefaultServer) this.ebeanServer).getDdlGenerator();

generator.runScript(true, generator.generateDropDdl());

generator.runScript(false, generator.generateCreateDdl());
