The Torque team is pleased to announce the Torque 3.3-RC2 release! http://db.apache.org/torque/
What is Torque? Torque is an object-relational mapper for Java. In other words, Torque lets you access and manipulate data in a relational database using Java objects. Unlike most other object-relational mappers, Torque does not use reflection to access user-provided classes, but it generates the necessary classes (including the Data Objects) from an XML schema describing the database layout. Changes in this version include: New Features: o Added check whether Torque is initialized in Torque.getConnection(). If Torque is not initialized, a corresponding TorqueException is thrown; Issue: TORQUE-79. o The maven 2 plugin generates the non-base classes into a different directory than the base classes. This behaviour can also be configured for maven 1 and ant by setting the property torque.java.base.dir to another directory than torque.java.dir. o Added a new Generator model Domain subclass called SizedForBitDataDomain to support the DB2/Derby CHAR/VARCHAR (size) AS BIT DATA format. Fixed bugs: o Fix the handling of interfaces while keeping backward compatibility. Add documentation and test cases. Issue: TORQUE-76. Thanks to Ronny Völker. o In the JdbcTransformTask of the generator, the attribute "default" is only added to the generated schema if its value is not empty. Issue: TORQUE-80. Thanks to Brian Telintelo. o Fixed the lifecycle integration and dependency resolution of the om goal in the maven 2 plugin. Thanks to Jeffrey D. Brekke. o Allow repeated lookups to the Torque Avalon Component. The component now registers the existing MapBuilders with the new instance so that they are re-built during initialization. This is considered a temporary hack until the static constructors of the generated Peer classes go away. Issue: TORQUE-68. o Set autocommit=true as default for the sqlexec task in the maven 2 plugin. Some databases (e.g. postgresql) need this to proceed if a statement execution fails. o Added the TEXT sql type in postgresql to the list of types where size and scale is silently dropped in sql generation. o Made the password parameter optional in the sqlexec task in the maven2 plugin. Empty passwords work for some databases. o Added missing log4j jar to generator dependencies. Issue: TORQUE-73. o Improved Derby generator platform implimentation to support correctly sized BINARY and VARBINARY using the SizedAsBitDataDomain. Also fixed problems with the BIT and TINYINT mappings. o Fixed template package references that caused bad code to be generated if non-default packages were used. Changes: o Centralized the handling of MapBuilders in the TorqueInstance class. This allows for repeated initialization of different instances of Torque. The method BasePeer.getMapBuilder(className) is now deprecated.
