Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-414:
------------------------------------
I understand the issue and you are correct - there's no way to do this right
now in the code generated from Abator.
I made everything private because it is somewhat fragile code and I didn't want
people getting into trouble by calling methods when they don't fully understand
the consequences.
I'd be open to adding a configuration property that specifies that these
methods should be made public - something like "allowCriteriaClassAccess" which
would default to "false". Would that work for you?
> 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
