William Drai has submitted a very clever little patch to add class casts to HQL.
I must be stupid, 'cos it never occurred to me that casts shoudl really be expressed in the FROM clause, and that makes them /much/ easier to implement. Usually people have proposed it as something to go in the WHERE clause, which is harder to implement and perhaps less elegant.
So, William's patch does it like:
FROM Order AS order JOIN (FactoryItem) order.items AS item
I think it would be better as this:
FROM Order AS order JOIN order.items CAST FactoryItem AS item
Which is better? Any other suggestions?
