symfony2通过getter设置值

Question

I'd like to know if it is possible to create entities dynamically and persist them. For example I have

class Member {

private $adress; //OneToOne(targetEntity="Adress", inversedBy="Member", cascade={"persist", "remove"})

And a class Adress

class Adress
private $member //...
private $city // string

I want to set the values dynamically. I have every getter/setter name in a string (In this case Member.Adress.City, and a function that works like this (simplified)

$data = explode('.', 'Adress.City');
$entity = Object; //Here, $entity is an empty Member
$cursor = $entity;

//-1 is to target only getters, and not setters
for($i = 0; $i < (count($data) - 1); $i++) { 

    $getter = 'get' . $data[$i];
    $cursor = $cursor->$getter();
}

$setter = 'set' . $data[count($data) - 1];
$cursor->$setter($value);

$em->persist($entity);

Sadly, this doesnt work.. I can only set direct values, like Member.Name, but not relational entities. Is there a way to work this out ? Thanks !

Run symfony2 cli command doctrine:generate:entities and it should create a setter and getter methods for relations as well. And then you can use them in your loop.
