Hello, I have been working some with Hibernate, and while I like a lot of what it has to offer, but I am constantly frustrated with things that would be a no brainier sql query, that takes hours if not days to try in shoehorn into their paradigm. Here is a scenario that you cannot do in Hibernate and I am wonder if it is possible in Cayenne:
Here is a table structure: projects_table -------------------------------- id int projectname varchar status int status_table ------------------------------ projectId int (fkey back to projects_table id) status_name varchar I have a project object as with the following variables: Project.java --------------------------------- int id String projectName String statusName Hibernate does not support this, and to get around it I have had to create a view that hibernate pulls from. We like having the status_table look-up because it makes it easy to return sorted lists of projects, while giving us the freedom to change status text.
