I'm curious how feasible it would be to write a Java-based evaluator of Hibernate queries, or at least leverage the existing parser code to gain access to the abstract syntax tree.
One possibility is that certain subsets of queries (most filters, I think) could be run within the JVM, saving a db query. Also, a translator could allow Hibernate query language to be used with other persistence engines (ok, this is not so compelling since Hibernate is the best :) But really, the query language seems very clean and simple, and I believe has the potential to be useful in scenarios even outside of persistence. Kind of like JXPath, but more SQL-like. This way all the queries in my application could use the same language, regardless of whether there is an underlying database. I've looked at the cirrus.hibernate.query package and most of it is pretty generic, but there are some obvious places where the persistence stuff creeps in. Is it worth persuing reusing this code? If not, do you anticipate many changes to the query language going forward?
