Sorting on Column in Type Table with ColdFusion ORM

Question

Hi all,

I have three tables, with the following structure:

The three objects I'm dealing with are here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2586403/ORMIssues/Objects.zip

I need to be able to get a PartObject, and then pull all of its Attributes, sorted by the AttributeName in the Types table. Here are the problems I'm running into:

1. I can't sort the Attributes property in PartObject by its Attribute.AttributeName property

2. I can't add the Attribute.AttributeName property to the ObjectAttribute entity because I get an error regarding column names. Hibernate is putting the ID on the wrong side of the join

Here's the hibernate log file showing the bad query

10/14 16:36:39 [jrpp-12] HIBERNATE DEBUG - select objectattr0_.ID as ID1116_, objectattr0_.AttributeValue as Attribut2_1116_, objectattr0_.AttributeID as Attribut3_1116_, objectattr0_1_.AttributeName as Attribut2_1117_ from ObjectAttributes objectattr0_ inner join Attributes objectattr0_1_ on objectattr0_.ID=objectattr0_1_.AttributeID 
10/14 16:36:39 [jrpp-12] HIBERNATE ERROR - [Macromedia] [SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid column name 'AttributeID'. 
10/14 16:36:39 [jrpp-12] HIBERNATE ERROR - [Macromedia] [SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Statement(s) could not be prepared. 

Here's the offending section of the query:

from ObjectAttributes objectattr0_ 
inner join Attributes objectattr0_1_ on objectattr0_.ID=objectattr0_1_.AttributeID 

It should be:

from ObjectAttributes objectattr0_ 
inner join Attributes objectattr0_1_ on objectattr0_.AttributeID=objectattr0_1_.ID 

The AttributeName property on the ObjectAttribute.cfc is the one causing the problem:

component  output="false" persistent="true" table="ObjectAttributes" 
{ 
        property name="ID" column="ID" generator="native" type="numeric" ormtype="int" fieldtype="id" unsavedvalue="0" ; 
        property name="AttributeValue" type="string" ; 
        property name="Attribute" fieldtype="many-to-one" cfc="Attribute" fkcolumn="AttributeID" fetch="join"; 
        property name="AttributeName" table="Attributes" joincolumn="AttributeID" ; 
} 

I've also tried using a formula to get the AttributeName on the ObjectAttribute entity, like so:

component  output="false" persistent="true" table="ObjectAttributes"
{
    property name="ID" column="ID" generator="native" type="numeric" ormtype="int" fieldtype="id" unsavedvalue="0" ;
    property name="AttributeValue" type="string" ;
    property name="Attribute" fieldtype="many-to-one" cfc="Attribute" fkcolumn="AttributeID" fetch="join";
    property name="AttributeName" type="string" formula="(SELECT A.AttributeName FROM Attributes A WHERE A.ID = AttributeID)";
}

This works, but I can't sort by that computed column. If I then adjust PartObject.cfc like so:

property name="Attributes" cfc="ObjectAttribute" type="array" fkcolumn="ObjectID" fieldtype="one-to-many" orderby="AttributeName";

I get the following errors in the hibernatesql log:

10/17 16:51:55 [jrpp-0] HIBERNATE DEBUG - select attributes0_.ObjectID as ObjectID2_, attributes0_.ID as ID2_, attributes0_.ID as ID244_1_, attributes0_.AttributeValue as Attribut2_244_1_, attributes0_.AttributeID as Attribut3_244_1_, ((SELECT A.AttributeName FROM Attributes A WHERE A.ID = attributes0_.AttributeID)) as formula25_1_, attribute1_.ID as ID246_0_, attribute1_.AttributeName as Attribut2_246_0_ from ObjectAttributes attributes0_ left outer join Attributes attribute1_ on attributes0_.AttributeID=attribute1_.ID where attributes0_.ObjectID=? order by attributes0_.AttributeName
10/17 16:51:55 [jrpp-0] HIBERNATE ERROR - [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid column name 'AttributeName'.
10/17 16:51:55 [jrpp-0] HIBERNATE ERROR - [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Statement(s) could not be prepared.

Here's a dump without that property to show that the rest of the relationships are working properly:

I have no idea how to fix this issue. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
