Hi,
I notice that my entity is not being marked dirty when I assign a property a value from within the class.
Im assuming this is due to the annotation processor enriching getter/setter but not field access.
Let me clarify with an example
I have a one-to-many relationship Parent - Child.
A child can be well-behaved or not. I have an action button that toggles the wellBehaved attribute in the UI. After pressing the button I call a method countWellBehavedChildrenon the Parent class that counts the well-behaved children and updates an integer with the correct value.
When I update the integer from within that method, my entity is not being marked dirty in the views datacontext. If from within that method I call the setter, then it is being marked dirty.
Is this by design, or just overlooked?
class Parent {
List<Child> children;
Integer numberOfWellBehavedChildren;
void setNumberOfWellBehavedChildren(int number) {
this.numberOfWellBehavedChildren = number;
}
void countWellBehavedChildren() {
numberOfWellBehavedChildren = 0;
int wellBehavedChildrenCounter = 0;
for (Child child : children) {
if (child.isWellBehaved) {
numberOfWellBehavedChildren++; // does not work, I assume because there is no proxy
wellBehavedChildrenCounter++;
}
setNumberOfWellBehavedChildren(wellBehavedChildrenCounter); //this works, because I'm passing the value through a method that is proxied
}
}
}
class Child {
boolean isWellBehaved;
}
