Hi Craig,
I have 3 questions concerning named queries:
1) Assertion A14.5-13 specifies:
[...
The order is based on the metadata search order for class metadata, but
includes files named based on the query name.]
The assertion reads as if JDO defines a special metadata file having a
file name which equals the name of the named query. In the example
underneath that assertion the spec does not list such a file:
"...
If metadata is not found in the above, then the following files are
searched: META-INF/package.jdoquery, WEB-INF/package.jdoquery,
package.jdoquery, com/package.jdoquery, com/sun/
package.jdoquery, com/sun/nb/package.jdoquery, com/sun/nb/Bar.jdoquery."
Have implementations also lookup a metadata file like
<nameOfNamedQuery>.jdoquery?
2) The seach order for metadata specifies to lookup a file WEBINF/
package.jdo. In a web server the WEBINF directory cannot be looked up by
a classloader. Instead, it is available through the servlet context. I'm
not sure if (deployed) implementations are able to access the servlet
context of deployed applications.
Does it make sense to not specify named queries in a WEBINF directory of
the TCK?
3) The search order for metadata specifies that package jdo files are
evaluated before class jdo files.
Suppose there is a package jdo file containing metadata for class
Person. That jdo file would not define named queries on class Person.
Suppose further, there is a class jdo file for Person which does define
named queries. Are these named queries supposed to be found by
implementations?
Regards,
Michael
