Hi All,
As part of preparing to move to Eclipse we are going back and
updating our projects so they are using packages ( this is the bit
where I run and hide in shame as I have to admit we never used them
before ) and EOGenerator if they weren't already. Anyways.....
We're having some issues, lots of issues so I think we've done
something dumb.
Yes. :-P
The first issue is that addbjectToBothSidesOfRelationship is now
causing a StackOverflow error as it keeps calling itself. In the
example below its for the AuditLog class. First up is the old code,
then the new code ( thanks to EOGenerator ) and then the error
message (I haven't included all of the stack trace as its the same
thing over and over again ).
So as a newbie to packages I can't see any rules that we're
breaking ( although we probably are ). Any advise/suggestions/fixes
would be most appreciated.

} else
addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey( aValue,
"person" );
}
This method should be exactly the same as the original method (other
than the signature). Adding packages changes nothing.
addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey will result in a call to
setPerson. In your case, setPerson then calls
addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey which calls setPerson,
which calls addObjectToBothSidesOfRelationshipWithKey etc. etc.
public void setPerson(edu.uow.ris.framework.eo.Person value) {
takeStoredValueForKey(value, "person");
}
