Generating a Separate .jdo File for Each Package that Contains Persistent Objects

You generate a separate .jdo file for each package that contains persistent objects as follows:

  1. Select Language > Generate Java Code .
  2. Click on the Options tab.
  3. Set the "Use a single JDO persistence descriptor for all packages" option to false.
  4. Click Apply to save this option.
  5. Click Cancel to close the window.

If you want to generate a JDO persistence descriptor for a specific JDO product, you still need to configure standard JDO extended attributes.

If a class has primary key attributes, PowerDesigner will generate an inner class to implement the primary key class.

If you use inheritances, only the parent class can have primary key attributes.
