Jeff Butler commented on IBATIS-414: ------------------------------------ The more I think about it, the more I dislike the configuration option. How about if I just make the relevent methods and fields protected instead of private? You'll have to write a class like this: ExtendedExample extends SomeTableExample { public ExtendedCriteria createExtendedCriteria() { ExtendedCriteria criteria = new ExtendedCriteria(); if (oredCriteria.size() == 0) { oredCriteria.add(criteria); } return criteria; } public static class ExtendedCriteria extends SomeTableExample.Criteria { public ExtendedCriteria andCodeLikeCaseInsensitive(String value) { addCriterion("upper(code) like", value.toUpperCase(), "code"); return this; } } } This will be a quick change for me and will also make it possible to extend these classes. > 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.
