Zend - doctrine 2 querybuilder help - zend-framework

Question

i want to use this:
$query = $this->_doctrine->createQueryBuilder()
->select('u')
->from('\Entities\Users', 'l')
->leftJoin('l.userentities', 'u')
->getQuery();
return $info = $query->getResult();
and my users entity is:
namespace Entities\Users;
/**
* #Entity
* #Table(name="users")
* #HasLifecycleCallbacks
*/
class Users extends \Entities\AbstractEntity
{
/**
* #Id #Column(name="userid", type="integer")
* #GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $userid;
/** #Column(name="itemid", type="integer") */
protected $itemid;
}
and my user entities entity class contains:
namespace Entities\Users;
/**
* #Entity
* #Table(name="userentities")
* #HasLifecycleCallbacks
*/
class Userentities extends \Entities\AbstractEntity
{
/**
* #Id #Column(name="entityid", type="integer")
* #GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $entityid;
/** #Column(name="userid", type="integer") */
protected $userid;
/** #Column(name="crb", type="string") */
protected $crb;
}
i tried put this into the entity but no joy
* #OneToMany(targetEntity="Users", inversedBy="userid")
* #JoinColumn(name="userid", referencedColumnName="userid")
1 user has many user entities..
and i get this error:
Error: Class Entities\Users has no association named Users
i just want to do a left join with users to usersentities..
how can i doa left join?

Answer 1

Try putting this annotation in your Userentities class for the $userid field:
/**
* #var Entities\Userentities
* #ManyToOne(targetEntity="Users", inversedBy="userentities", cascade={"persist"})
*/
private $userid;
and this annotation in your Users class with a new field called $userentities:
/**
* #var \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection
* #OneToMany(targetEntity="Userentities", mappedBy="userid", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
*/
private $userentities;
