Hi,
Oracle treat empty strings as nulls.
That makes programation difficult, because the string
retrieved by a get method may be null.
We have got arround the problem writing three methods for each string field:
public String getName() {
return name == null ? "" : name;
}
public void setName(String newName) {
name= newName;
// or even better, to avoid useless storing: name= newName.equals("") ? null : newName;
}
public void _jdo_get_name() {
return name;
}
And we configure mapping.xml to make jdo use "_jdo_get_name" and "setName" methods.
(_jdo_get_name is necessary. Otherwise jdo will always think the object has
changed ("" != null), and will allways store it)
Is there any other cleaner way to acomplish this, using a
parametrized type convertor or whatsoever?
Is it possible to code a convertor and make castor use it
without modifiying castor source code?
Thank you,
