Thomas Vandahl commented on TORQUE-343:
---------------------------------------

About the complex query case:

Say, I have an application with a complex data model. I want to display a list 
of data coming from different tables. So I create a query with lots of select 
columns, several joins and a complex where-condition. This can be a pain to 
handle.

So I apply the Peer/Mapper/OM-class pattern to this type of query by creating 
an OM-class containing the select columns of my query, a mapper to map the 
results to this object and a peerImpl to run the query. (An instance of 
BasePeerImpl configured accordingly, will do, too).

This way, you can use the complex query like any other Peer/OM-class 
combination. You may look at it as a kind of "dynamic view". The only caveat is 
that a static peer class would be needed to avoid creating the peerImpl 
instances. You /can/ do this, of course but I consider the registry method more 
elegant.

> I'd like to suggest a central registry for peerImpl-objects which can be 
> queried by the Persistent class it is responsible for. This would allow 
> reusing and extending the peer objects dynamically as well as giving them 
> some kind of life-cycle.
> The main method would be similar to this:
> {code:java}
> public <T> BasePeerImpl<T> getPeerFor(Class<T> persistentClass)
> {
>     return peerRegistry.get(persistentClass);
> }
> {code}
> I would also like to suggest moving the buildCriteria(obj) method to the 
> RecordMapper or the TableMap class. This will further reduce the amount of 
> code that needs to be generated.
> If the idea is received well, I'll come up with a proposal.
