Ormlite - Constructor call failing when BaseDaoImpl is extended

Question

I have the following tables -

@DatabaseTable(tableName=\"b\", daoClass=B_DaoImpl.class)
public class B {

   @DatabaseField
   public String b1 ;

   public         


        

Answer 1

I suspect that there is cause message you are missing at the end of your exception stack trace. For example, if I duplicate your example above I get:

java.sql.SQLException: Could not call the constructor in class class 
      com.j256.ormlite.table.CustomDaoTest$A_DaoImpl
  at com.j256.ormlite.misc.SqlExceptionUtil.create(SqlExceptionUtil.java:22)
  ...
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
  at sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Native Method)
  ...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Foreign field class
>>>>      com.j256.ormlite.table.CustomDaoTest$B does not have id field  <<<<<<
  at com.j256.ormlite.field.FieldType.configDaoInformation(FieldType.java:332)
  ...

Because A has a foreign field of class B, then B needs to have an id field. Identity fields are required for foreign fields.

I'm sure A and B are simplistic versions of your classes so if you post more of the exception including all of the cause information, I'll edit my answer appropriately.
