Well... you know I don't have any kind of problem to improve Criteria API.
The Criteria API, in Hibernate, was thought only for some specific dynamic
query and not for every kind of query.
They are using HQL, as we are using LINQ, since long time because they have
an Eclipse plugin to support intellisense and refactoring for HQL too (and
remember that in Hibernate HQL is to query XML entities too).
In .NET we are intending to use of Criteria API for everithing and in NH we
have a more powerful implementation of CriteriaAPI only for that reason...
but you know... Criteria have some limitation compared with HQL.
What I would like to do is evangelize users to use the right QuerySystem for
the right target.
NHibernate are supporting (so far) these query systems:
HQL
Criteria API
LINQ
H-SQL (SQL in Hibernate style using '{' etc.)
SQL
So far five way to query your domain (and you know what I'm doing with
Artorius), and I can't understand why a lot of users are using Criteria for
everything without know what mean NamedQuery or any other querySystem
supported by NH.
I less understand when somebody write : I know how do it using HQL but I
want use Criteria even if there is not reason in this "special" case
And I understand more less when the motivation is : I want use Criteria for
"programming style"
Thats all.
Said that... each one can do it in his way, the JIRA, to ask improvements,
is there and the code-base is there
Sorry Alex... your mail is only the last of 2 years of heard the same
matter.
