I think we already sort of address this by having a generic method public void setParameter(int loc, Object value, Type type); As long as you also collect a list of types, you are fine.... We can't provide a truly generic method because theres too much ambiguity. eg. a java.lang.Long could by Hibernate's "long" type or Hibernate's "serializable" type. A java.util.Date could be "date", "time", timestamp", "serializable" or even, in theory, an entity. I suppose we could provide one which does a best guess ... so it would pick a java.lang.Long as "long" but its still problematic for Date..... P.S. I have finished implementing named query parameters + setFirstResult() and its all in CVS to try out..... ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
