How to map DateTime & Reference to the @Field properly

[kzotin]

Hi folks,

Can you please advise on simple question, how to map to map properly (haven't found such details in readme): 1) What java data type use for DateTime field?

2) We have Many references field, which accepts various data types. Should I set @Field List<Resource> and find out instance type during runtime?

Thanks in advance! ;)

Hey,

those are great questions, like always ...

1) For DateTime, I recommend using Strings:

• See Space definition
• See usage in tests
• and then parse it through JodaTime or similar if you need a better handle information.

2) Many References

• The current recommendation is to use a basetype, as you also suggested, and have a smart getter on the model, who can cast to the right type if possible.

I hope that helps
