[Helma-user] how to use _extends and _prototype

[Julian Tree]

Maybe someone can tell me the prefered way to do this in helma


I have one table  Called Company,

The company can be either a Shop or Agency
depending on the column called
type == 'shop'
type = = 'agency'

Company/type.properties
-----------------------------------
_db          			= filepressdb
_table       			= company
_id          			= company_id
_idgen 					= company_company_id_seq
_name      	 			= company_name
creator 	 			= creator
modifier 	 			= modifier
contact_name 			= contact_name
company_name 			= company_name


Shop/type.properties
-----------------------------------
_extends 				= Company
newJobs 				= collection(Job)
newJobs.local	 		= company_id
newJobs.foreign	 		= job_shop_id
newJobs.accessname 		= job_id
newJobs.order 			= job_id DESC





Now when I try to access newJobs

shop.newJobs -> undefined


if I put the newJobs definition in Company/type.properties, then I can
access it just fine.
