Entity dependency Symfony2 - php

Question

I have two bundles with two entity’s. I need to create a manyToMany relationship between these entity’s.
Property:
namespace Pfwd\AdminBundle\PropertyBundle\Entity;
use Pfwd\UserBundle\Entity\User as User;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="property")
*/
class Property {
//...
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="User")
* #ORM\JoinTable(name="user_role",
* joinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")},
* inverseJoinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="property_id", referencedColumnName="id")}
* )
*
* #var ArrayCollection $salesAgents
*/
protected $salesAgents;
//..
User:
namespace Pfwd\UserBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="user")
*/
class User implements UserInterface
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*
* #var integer $id
*/
protected $id;
// ...
The property bundle depends on the user bundle.
When I run
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
I get the following error:
[ErrorException]
Warning: class_parents(): Class Pfwd\AdminBundle\PropertyBundle\Entity\User
does not exist and could not be loaded in <SITE_PATH>/symfony2/vendor/doctrine/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/Cl
assMetadataFactory.php line 223
Any ideas?

According to your Property class definition, you have defined a ManyToMany relation with User. As you omitted the namespace, the current one will be used:
User will be translated to Pfwd\AdminBundle\PropertyBundle\Entity\User
You have to specify the FQCN:
#ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Pfwd\UserBundle\Entity\User")
