ORMLITE one-to-many recursive relationship

问题

Hello i am facing a problem:

I need to store a tree representation of subjects.

I mean a SUBJECT have a list of childrens of type SUBJECT

 @DatabaseTable(tableName = "subject")
public class Subject implements Serializable {

@DatabaseField(columnName = "_id")
private int id;
@DatabaseField
private String text;

@DatabaseField(columnName = "parent", foreign = true)
private Subject parent;

@ForeignCollectionField
private List<Subject> sons;

this code throws an error

 9950-9950/ec.com.smx.flux E/EC.COM.SMX.FLUX/SubjectDaoProvider.java:25﹕ main java.sql.SQLException: Field class for 'sons' must be of class ForeignCollection or Collection.

回答1:

Try changing the sons type to type of ForeignCollection

@ForeignCollectionField
private ForeignCollection<Subject> sons;
