I have two classes Invoice and InvoiceItem. I would like Invoice to have a List of InvoiceItem Objets. I have red that the list must be of primitive or serializable objects. I have made InvoiceItem Serializable.

Invoice.java looks like

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;

import javax.jdo.annotations.Column;
import javax.jdo.annotations.Embedded;
import javax.jdo.annotations.EmbeddedOnly;
import javax.jdo.annotations.IdGeneratorStrategy;
import javax.jdo.annotations.IdentityType;
import javax.jdo.annotations.PersistenceCapable;
import javax.jdo.annotations.Persistent;
import javax.jdo.annotations.Element;
import javax.jdo.annotations.PrimaryKey;

import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key;
import com.softamo.pelicamo.shared.InvoiceCompanyDTO;

@PersistenceCapable(identityType = IdentityType.APPLICATION)
public class Invoice {  
    @PrimaryKey
    @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @Persistent
    private String number;

    @Persistent
    private Date date;

    @Persistent
    private List<InvoiceItem> items = new ArrayList<InvoiceItem>();

    public Invoice() {} 

    public Long getId() { return id; }
    public void setId(Long id) {this.id = id;}

    public String getNumber()           { return number;}
    public void setNumber(String invoiceNumber) { this.number = invoiceNumber;}

    public Date getDate()               { return date;}
    public void setDate(Date invoiceDate)       { this.date = invoiceDate;}


    public List<InvoiceItem> getItems()         { return items;}
    public void setItems(List<InvoiceItem> items)   { this.items = items;}

}

and InvoiceItem.java looks like

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import javax.jdo.annotations.PersistenceCapable;
import javax.jdo.annotations.Persistent;

@PersistenceCapable
public class InvoiceItem implements Serializable {  

    @Persistent
    private BigDecimal amount;

    @Persistent
    private float quantity;

    public InvoiceItem() {}

    public BigDecimal getAmount()               {   return amount;}
    public void setAmount(BigDecimal amount)        { this.amount = amount;}

    public float getQuantity()              { return quantity;}
    public void setQuantity(float quantity)         { this.quantity = quantity;}
}

I get the next error while running a JUnit test.

Moreover, when I try to store an invoice with a list of items through my app. In the development console I can see that items are not persisted to any field while the rest of the invoice class properties are stored properly.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Solution

As pointed in the answers, the error says that the InvoiceItem class was missing a primaryKey. I tried with:

@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Long id;

But I was getting

javax.jdo.JDOFatalUserException: Error in meta-data for InvoiceItem.id: Cannot have a java.lang.Long primary key and be a child object (owning field is Invoice.items).

In persist list of objets, @aldrin pointed that

For child classes the primary key has to be a com.google.appengine.api.datastore.Key value (or encoded as a string) see

So, I tried with Key. It worked.

@PrimaryKey
@Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.IDENTITY)
private Key id;
