[TYPO3-extbase-kickstarter] Ext. Builder scaffolding limits

[Eric S. Auchterberge]

Hi Nico,

Thanks for your answer.

the scaffolding does not support nested objects in the frontend. You have to

Right, or put in DDD terms: at this time, one of the Extension Builder
scaffolding limits is that it doesn't generate complete CRUD operations for
Aggregate Roots which have Value Object as properties, so you will have to
finish them by hand. The good news is that extbase makes this task extremely
easy to achieve, look at following post by Pascal Jungblut:

Also, and this limitation is stated at the wiki, but maybe with not enough
weight, Extension Builder doesn't support modeling single inheritance, so
you will also need to finish them by hand, again the good news is that
Extbase does suport it through STI (single table inheritance) and also
Pascal does have a useful post about the issue:

Sure, but aren't 1:1 relations an easy case to scaffold?
