I love the new "Map" classes that provide super-easy access to your
data map and associated queries. I think a nice extension to these
would be to have teh super-class map list, as static finals, the
names of all of the queries (even the sql-script queries), the way
we do with object entities and property names.
This was the first experiment with generated classes for the DataMaps.
We definitely want to explore it further. +1 for adding DataMap names
and Query names.
I was also thinking about making the generated classes "managed" (i.e.
obtained via a context) instead of static singletons. Still want to
play with various scenarios to see how useful that is... Here is one
possible scenario - specifying the root of an entity-less query:
// common interface
public interface DataMapObject {
DataMap getDataMap();
}
T ObjectContext.getDataMap(Class<T extends DataMapObject>
generatedClass);
SQLTemplate.SQLTemplate(DataMapObject map, String sqlString);
Unless I hear otherwise, I'll plan on opening up issues for these
items.
+1.
