Hi,
I have web-app being built to run within a jboss304+tomcat406 environment.
I have a session facade whose responsibilty it is, amongst others, to
take a searchCriteriaVO (value object) and use it to select a particular
finder.
Now, I know that one could take those criteria and take every possible
combination of criteria and apply it to a single finder - one finder per
unique combination of criteria but, to me this seems like a lot of hard
work.
It looks as though one could write code to dynamically construct an sql
statement which would be quicker and easier than constructing code to
select a finder but I'm thinking maybe there's a way using ejb-ql to do
this stuff more dynamically.
Here's an example scenario.
I am searching for cars:
searchCriteriaVO has
engineType (all,1, 2 ,3)
condition (any,good, fair, poor)
registrationFromDate (could be null)
registrationToDate(could be null)
The above criteria could produce a fairly large number of unique
combinations and thus that same number of finders.
Whats the best or easiest way to code this? Is there a 'best practice'
which I need to know about?
(I have a cars entity bean and a cars session facade)
thanks
jim
