Allow extending the Example classes or allow hand written criteria ------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IBATIS-414 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IBATIS-414 Project: iBatis for Java Issue Type: Improvement Components: Tools Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Environment: Java 1.5, Maven 2, ANT 1.6.5, Ibatis 2.3.0, abator 1.0.0 Reporter: James Burton I currently have database searches implemented very nicely with abator generated code. I use the Example classes with the 'and..Like' criteria to do this. It works great. However, I now have a requirement to make these searches case-insensitive. After a bit of thinking I decided to try and extend the generated Example classes and override the 'and..Like' methods to add in the required upper() functions that Sybase requires to get true case insensitivity. I need to get a criteria added something like this... addCriterion("upper(code) like", value, "upper(code)"); The problem is, I cannot extend the Example classes because there is no public constructor on the 'Criteria' inner class. Nor does the Example class allow a 'hand written' criteria to be added. This too, would be very useful. Do you think you could add a public constructor or make the existing one public? Either that or add methods to allow adding a hand-written criteria? ..or is there a better way to do this that I have completely missed? If not, Thanks, James -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
