Hi all-
I've been checking the online docs about this, but I haven't found a suitable
explanation about how entities and sub-entities work within a document. I am
loading records from a SQL database and everything seems to be getting
flattened in a way I was not expecting.
For example, I have a document that defines, say, "engine". The engine is made
up of parts, which are manufactured by various companies. A hypothetical,
abbreviated config would be:
<document name="engines">
<entity name="engine" query="select id, name, desc from engines">
<entity name="parts" query = "select part_id, part_name from
parts where engine_id = ${engine.id}">
<entity name="parts_manu" query="select manu_name from
manufacturer where id = ${parts.part_id}">
...
</entity>
</entity>
</entity>
</document>
What I get when I search for, say, "XYZ", is a document that has XYZ Corp as a
manufacturer name, but the array of parts_manu appears to be a child of the
document, not the parts array.
Is this the correct behavior, insofar as a document has a single level of
elements, and that's it? If so, what might be a better strategy for being able
to maintain the hierarchy of information within a document?
Thanks for any info,
Ron
