In my Symfony2 application I extracted most of my Entities into a separate library which I install using composer.
This library does not have a dependency on Symfony2 (but does depend on Doctrine because I use annotations), because I would like to use it in other non-Symfony2 projects as well.
The library contains a ClientUser Entity, which maps to a client_users table. In my Symfony2 application, I would like to use the same ClientUser Entity for authentication. This requires me to implement Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface.
The problem is that I would like to have both a 'Symfony2-agnostic' and a 'Symfony-aware' implementation of a ClientUser Entity (which both should map to the same table). I tried to extend both classes from a ClientUserAbstract Entity, but it didn't work.
<?php
namespace My\Library\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\MappedSuperClass
*/
class ClientUserAbstract {
// all my fields here
}
My "Symfony2-agnostic" Entity:
<?php
namespace My\Library\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
*/
class ClientUser extends ClientUserAbstract {
// nothing here, it's empty
}
My "Symfony2-aware" Entity:
<?php
namespace Vendor\Bundle\MyBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface;
/**
* @ORM\Entity
*/
class ClientUser extends ClientUserAbstract implements UserInterface {
// all methods that Symfony requires because of the UserInterface here:
public function getRoles();
public function getPassword();
public function getSalt();
public function getUsername();
public function eraseCredentials();
}
My Symfony 2 app now detects two Entities which point to the same table and fails with an Exception. I either need to tell my Symfony2 app to "ignore" my My\Library\Entity\ClientUser, or I need a way to extend it. Any ideas?
