Hi Scott,

It seems you ran into exactly the same problem as I did (sorry I didn't find
your post before posting mine). The workaround to the INNER JOIN problem by
using report queries doesn't help in my case, because I modify an existing
query by adding the restrictions (this is permissions oriented layer in my
app). However, I think that this can be easily? fixed in the
SqlQueryStatement.java file. In fact I hacked a few lines of code to fix the
bug, but not being very proficient with the OJB internals I don't know if
it's going to affect anything else.

The relevant code follows:

    private void buildJoinTree(Criteria crit)
    {
        Enumeration e = crit.getElements();

        while (e.hasMoreElements())
        {
            Object o = e.nextElement();
            if (o instanceof Criteria)
            {
                buildJoinTree((Criteria) o);
            }
            else
            {
                SelectionCriteria c = (SelectionCriteria) o;
                if (c.getAttribute() != null)
                {
                    buildJoinTreeForColumn(c.getAttribute(),
crit.getAlias(), ( crit.getType() == cr
it.OR ));
                }
                if (c instanceof FieldCriteria)
                {
                    FieldCriteria cc = (FieldCriteria) c;
                   buildJoinTreeForColumn((String) cc.getValue(),
crit.getAlias(), (crit.getType()
== crit.OR ));
                }
                else if (c instanceof ColumnCriteria)
                {
                    ColumnCriteria cc = (ColumnCriteria) c;
                    buildJoinTreeForColumn((String) cc.getValue(),
crit.getAlias(), (crit.getType()
== crit.OR ));
                }
            }
        }
    }

and you also have to add the following method overloading the existing one:

    private void buildJoinTreeForColumn(String aColName, String aUserAlias,
      boolean outerjoin )
    {
        String pathName = SqlHelper.cleanPath(aColName);
        int sepPos = pathName.lastIndexOf(".");

        if (sepPos >= 0)
        {
            getTableAlias(pathName.substring(0, sepPos), outerjoin,
aUserAlias);

        }
    }

Basically, the gist is that if you get an OR criteria, any resulting join
based on it should be an outer one. Is this a correct assumption?

This seems to have fixed the problem for me in the tests that I have.

Cheers,
--Bill.

I would also be interested to know whether this is considered to be a
bug. I mentioned it a while back:

but never heard anything more.

I come across the following situation with PersistenceBroker queries:

Here is my object
public class Customer {
    ...
    private List acls = new Vector();
    private String realm = "...";
}

acls is a collection with Acl as collection member.

This is the query

Criteria crit = new Criteria();
crit.addEqualTo( "oid", new Long(201));
crit.addLike( "realm", "/201*" );
Criteria or = new Criteria();
or.addEqualTo( "acls.user_FK", new Long( 1 ) ); // notice the reference
field crit.addOrCriteria( or );

Resulting sql statement is:
SELECT ... FROM customers A0 INNER JOIN acls A1 ON A0.cus_oid=A1.acl_eid
WHERE (A0.cus_oid =  '201' ) AND A0.cus_realm LIKE  '/201%'  OR
(A1.acl_uid IN ( '1' ))

The sql statement comes out quite well constructed, except for one
thing. It uses inner join which means that my OR condition in which I
refer to a reference field effectually becomes an AND condition.
Shouldn't the statement contain rather left join in this case?

Cheers,
--Bill.
