How to update fields/relationships/entities afterwards

[poxd]

Hi,

I am discovering Roo at the moment and everything seem great!

I have a question though: how can we update actions done earlier through Roo? More specifically, how to update aspects with Roo?

For example I do that first:

field --fieldName lastname --class Employee

But then I want to change lastname to lastName and cascading this change to every aspects generated by Roo, how can we do that?

If the Roo Shell is open for your project, just change the field name directly in the java source code.

Roo will detect that the file has changed, and will cascade the changes.

Ok damnly simple... But then in the same vein if I deleted something by error (some jsp files for example) how can I regenerate them?

Indeed, the regeneration of some Web artifacts needs some better handling. At the moment you could simply delete the controller as well and then just issue the 'controller scaffold' command again for the entity you want to provide scaffolding for.

I did just that:
-1. deleted my scaffolded controller, roo shell noticed
-2. deleted my views for it
-3. added two fields
-4. reissued controller scaffold for the entity

However the new fields are not showing up in the edit form. They are however displayed in show.jsp

Any guesses?

Which version of Roo are you using? Please try out Roo RC4 and take a look at the upgrade section in the included documentation where we describe which artifacts to delete and which commands to issue. If you still have issues, I would be very interested in some more details so we can replicate your problem and fix it .

Cheers,
Stefan
