Morphia Question

[GonzalesDK]

Hi there.
I have a News.java domain object, it's very simple for now
@Entity
public class News extends Model {
public String title;
public String text;
public String intro;
public Blob newsImage;
//there are more contructors
public News() {
}

public void addImage(File image, String imageType) {

Blob photo = new Blob(image,imageType);
}
********
Test
News news = new News();
news.intro="Bla";
news.text="Hello";
news.title="World";
File test = new File("somepath\\test.jpg");
String iType="image/jpeg";
news.addImage(test,iType);
news.save();
assertNotNull(news);
assertNotNull(news.photo);

This works as expected

What I would like to do is however add a list of images.
@Entity
public class News extends Model {
public String title;
public String text;
public String intro;

public List<Blob> photos ;
public News() {
this.photos = new ArrayList<Blob>();
}

public void addImage(File image, String imageType) {

Blob photo = new Blob(image,imageType);
photos.add(photo);

}

This however to my surprise does not work

*****************
Could anyone point me in the right direction? I would just simply like
to add an arbitary amount of images to a news object.
Thx

This is true. Lists of Blobs are not supported currently. With the
current type of implementation it is not too easy to implement I guess.
Need to investigate this, but currently I do not have time, sorry.
