Missing information using DAO

[Fulgencio Jara]

Hi all,

I want to expose a problem I'm facing now with Jcrom DAO. I created a class that extends JcrFile:

   @JcrNode(nodeType = "nt:unstructured")

   public class Attachment extends JcrFile {

       @JcrProperty String attachmentType;

       @JcrProperty Map<String, String> customProperties;

       @JcrIdentifier String identifier;

        ...

   }

The class that contains this class is this one:

   public class DraftApplication {

      @JcrChildNode List<Attachment> attachments;

      ...

   }

I'm trying to get the information from the repository this way (using the DAO, of course):

   GenericDAO draftApplicationDAO = new GenericDAO(DraftApplication.class, rootNode.getSession(), jcrom);

   ...

   DraftApplication draftApplication = (DraftApplication) draftApplicationDAO.get(applicationType.getPath() + "/drafts/" + filingNumber);

And the generic DAO class is like this:

   public class GenericDAO extends AbstractJcrDAO {

      public GenericDAO(Class entityClass, Session session, Jcrom jcrom) {

         super(entityClass, session, jcrom);

      }

   }

THE PROBLEM: When I get a draftApplication from the repository, it gets all the attachments it has. But the attachments has only the properties i manually added in the Attachment class. JcrFile properties are not imported. So, when I try to add a new attachment and persist again the JcrFile properties are null in the retrieved attachments and, obviously, the application throws an exception.
