Cant figure out how to translate the following into Entity and Dao.

[mashoodChishti]

So I'm making an app in which I have to add a fee structure. And it is as follows

Now the id, name and payment mode is easy to add in the entity as int, String, String respectively. But I cant figure out how to translate the dynamic form of setting detail which will include detail and amount. If you can guide me how to do it. It will be a great help.. Thanks!

I also have a similar issue, where I need to translate an int value into a class which represents the foreign value associated with the int value stored. I tried to use TypeConverters but they don't seem to allow for int? values, which is what I need for a nullable foreign key.

Thanks for your sample of code.
This is because you are using Future for an overridden method that is not supported by the framework. Good point, I wasn't expecting that use case.

This would be a nice feature to have. I remember working with something similar with Java's Spring framework, where you could even go further and have multiple representations of the same class to use in different scenarios.

Awesome, I don't think it would be too hard to add this option.

Should I open an issue with this as a suggestion or you plan to use this one?

[dkaera]

yes, you can open a issue and link it to this discussion.
