[2.0] Ebean model class property not displayed in template

[Ólafur Gauti Guðmundsson]

Hi all,

I created a ticket for this, and attached a Play application which illustrates the problem (https://play.lighthouseapp.com/projects/82401-play-20/tickets/209-ebean-certain-model-class-properties-not-displayed-in-templates). 

But I also wanted to highlight it here, in case other people have encountered this.

Version: Play 2.0-RC3, Java application

I have a model class, which has a @Lob property called "description":

@Lob

public String description;

After persisting to db, and loading from db, I try to display this property in my template:

<p>Description: @myObject.description</p>

But the description is NOT displayed in the template (the result is: <p>Description: </p>).

I then add the following method to my model class:

public String descriptionViaMethodCall() {

    return description;

}

I then use this in the template, and it shows up without problems:

<p>Description: @myObject.descriptionViaMethodCall()</p>

This actually works.

There are other problems as well, for example when displaying properties of objects via @ManyToOne reference.

As I said, I've attached an extremely simple Play app to the ticket which illustrates the problem. 

This is worrying, and I think this needs to be looked into before the final release of Play 2.0.

Thanks!

Best regards,

OGG

Not sure if you've seen it before, but I've been using Project Lombok instead of making my fields public.  You just annotate your class with @Getter and @Setter and it auto-generates all the getters and setters and there Eclipse support for it as well.

I'm not sure but it looks to me that you are using lazy-loading. Perhaps Ebean makes this for Lobs by default.

This issue has been discussed before. You must use private field and
public accessor methods if you want to use Ebean lazy loading (or any
other Java magic) from Scala code.

Thanks for the reply.

OK, I will do this. It would be great if this sort of trick would be added to the documentation.
