esql:group behaves erratically





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-03-18 17:04 -------
Elias,

can you try adding <error-results/> and seeing what the exception is?
esql eats exceptions unless you do that.

<esql:execute-query>
  <esql:query>
    SELECT department.name as deptName, employee.id, employee.name as empName 
    FROM department, employee
    WHERE department.id = employee.department_id  ORDER BY department.name
  </esql:query>
  <esql:results>
    <esql:row-results>
      <esql:group group-on='deptName'>
        <Department><xsp:attribute name='name'><esql:get-string
column='deptName'/></xsp:attribute>
        <esql:member>
          <employee><esql:get-string column='empName'/></employee>
        </esql:member>
        </Department>
      </esql:group>
    </esql:row-results>
+       <esql:error-results>
+         <esql:get-message/>
+         <esql:get-stacktrace/>
+       </esql:error-results>
  </esql:results>
</esql:execute-query>

_esql_query.setGroupingVar("deptNameOld",
_esql_query.getResultSet().getString("deptName"));

would you prefer: 
_esql_query.setGroupingVar("deptNameOld",
new String(_esql_query.getResultSet().getString("deptName")));
?

I don't think it makes a difference since if there is a reference to the string 
from within the hash table it should prevent it from getting garbage collected 
no matter where the recordset pointer is.

I did the grouping code--only the grouping code.  I didn't think of another way 
to do it.  So the answer is that there aren't any specific reasons.

If you can refactor it and make it work I would certainly be grateful to you... 
I'm sure that it would be appreciated by others as well.  improvements that 
improve maintainability are the some of the best contributions since they can 
be the least rewarding in the scratch your itch area.

If you don't want to spend much time on it, I understand that as well. 
I just want to understand the bugs enough to fix them.

I know of two other bugs related to esql:group right now.
 bug 8187:
     <esql:group> footer uses future record's data rather than 
      most recent record.

     The patch i have posted for 8187 causes this bug for hsql since previous() 
isn't implemented.  an exception is thrown and the code that closes your 
<department> is never reached.

 bug notyetinbugzilla:
     <esql:group> cannot be used in a subquery.  I think i have a fix for this 
one also.


Let me know if some exceptions are revealed.

Tim
