Hi Lars, Currently the has method needs to have the same name as the field name you give in the mapping file. So if you mapping looks like this:
<field name="foo" ../> Then Castor will automatically look for "hasFoo" as the has-method. There is currently no has-method attribute for specify which has-method to use, but this is something that can be added. The best thing to do is to open an enhancement request at http://bugzilla.exolab.org Thanks, --Keith > Lars Lindgren wrote: > > Hi! > > I sent this mail a while ago, but I didn't get an answer so I'll give > it another try. > > I have discovered that if I have a field defined as the following: > > <field name="offset" type="long" get-method="getOffset" > set-method="setOffset" /> > > the method hasOffset() is used to check if offset is defined, but if I > have the following definition: > > <field name="m_offset" type="long" get-method="getOffset" > set-method="setOffset" /> > > the method getOffset is used to check if the offset is set. > > My question is now if it is possible to select which has-method to > use? > > If it is not, why is there no such possibility.
