The node dump does not show associative array keys

[greg0ire]

I have an assoc, and when I dump the document that has it, the assoc looks like this :

• identifiers = Array( [0] => MA1234)

It should look like this :

• identifiers = Array( [my key] => MA1234)

in PHPCR internally there is no assoc array support, so we split the data into 2 multi value properties. the node command does not combine the two as it works below the PHPCR ODM level on the plain PHPCR level.

Ok, I guess this means there's no hope. Closing.

Well we have a similar situation with the i18n support of PHPCR ODM. it might make sense to provide PHPCR ODM a aware-mode for the command.

[greg0ire]

You mean something that would parse the phpcr command output and reformat it so that feature implemented odm-side are visible ? That would indeed be great. Don't know if parsing is the best solution though.

[lsmith77]

i am also not sure what the best strategy is. another option would be to create entirely new commands that basically use PHPCR ODM to fetch the nodes (similar to how the TreebrowserBundle works).

[greg0ire]

I think this sounds better because the problem with the other approach is that any change to the underlying command output might break the other one.

If we ever embed the PHPCR shell (doctrine/DoctrinePHPCRBundle#151) and replace the phpcr-util commands, we could do something clever and add an event listener whiccnh decorates the output if the shell is in ODM mode or whatever..

With the emded shell, all the PHPCR commands get replaced with:

$ ./app/console phpcr <command>

i.e. we do not list all the commands, only a single proxy command (phpcr)

We could then imagine adding a proxy for the proxy command - phpcr-odm which will launch a phpcr-odm version of the shell - adding output decorators, removing / adding commands, etc.
