Need help deciphering an error message

[Paul Gibson]

I am trying out OpenAccess and am getting the following error when OpenAccess is doing its processing after a a successful run through the C# compiler in VS 2008. I am not sure where I would look. The backend database is Sybase SQLAnywhere 10.0.1.3990.

Error    2    OpenAccess Error: Telerik.OpenAccess: Updating SQL schema failed. No RelationalTypeMapping found for class 'TelerikHBModel.IOperRecertification' used by field '<value>'. Type is interface.    TelerikHBModel    
Error    3    OpenAccess Error: No RelationalTypeMapping found for class 'TelerikHBModel.IOperRecertification' used by field '<value>'. Type is interface.    TelerikHBModel    

IOperRecertification is a simple interface as follows:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

namespace TelerikHBModel

{

[Telerik.OpenAccess.Persistent( )]

public interface IOperRecertification

{

void Recertify();

}

}

Two classes in the project are marked with the persistent attribute and implement the interface with an empty method:

void Recertify() {}

and a third class maintains a list of objects implementing the interface and has a method to iterate through them, calling the Recertify() method:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace TelerikHBModel
{
    [Telerik.OpenAccess.Persistent( )]
    public class OperatorCertification
    {
        private Panel _Panel;
        private DateTime _StartDate;
        private DateTime _EndDate;
        private Operator _Operator;
        private IList<IOperRecertification> _Recertifications;

        public Panel Panel
        {
            get { return _Panel; }
            set { _Panel = value; }
        }

        public DateTime StartDate
        {
            get { return _StartDate; }
            set { _StartDate = value; }
        }

        public DateTime EndDate
        {
            get { return _EndDate; }
            set { _EndDate = value; }
        }

        public Operator Operator
        {
            get { return _Operator; }
            set { _Operator = value; }
        }

        // Strategy for recertification.
        public IList<IOperRecertification> Recertifications
        {
            get { return _Recertifications; }
            set { _Recertifications = value; }
        }

        private OperatorCertification()
        {
        }

        public OperatorCertification(Panel aPanel, DateTime aStart, DateTime aEnd, Operator aOperator)
        {
            _Panel = aPanel;
            _StartDate = aStart;
            _EndDate = aEnd;
            _Operator = aOperator;
        }

        public void Recertify()
        {
            foreach (IOperRecertification Recert in Recertifications)
            {
                Recert.Recertify();
            }
        }
    }
}

Any ideas?

Hi Paul Gibson,

 At the moment collection of interface instances is not supported. This could potentially involve joining multiple table hierarchies and could adversely affect performance.
