I just checked-in an enhancement for OJB that allows to specify which
constructor/factory-method to utilize for constructing objects read
from the database. These can have parameters which are described by
corresponding parameter element:
<creation-descriptor
type="factory"
factory-class="org.apache.ojb.broker.ObjectTestFactory"
factory-method="createInstance"
>
<parameter field-ref="name"/>
<parameter field-ref="value" type="int[]"/>
</creation-descriptor>
The optional type attribute allows the user to explicitly specify the
parameter type thus helping OJB finding the correct constructor/method
(in case of overload).
Now if I'd use plain Class.forName, the user would have to specify:
[LI
for this int array which is hardly user-friendly. The solution that I
added, allows for the normal type specification as is used in variable
declarations or for method parameters.
