news app

[Morten Wilken]

has anyone tried to deploy the newsapp on sqlserver 2000?   i try and have found a problem that could have implications for other situations aswell   the newsapp has a hierachy of news, and the top news has a parent with the value null ie. no parent   this is fine except the findByParent finder generates sql like this: select....where parent = $1   and in sqlserver this return nothing when called with null as an argument. in this case you have to write  '...where parent IS null' to get a resultset.   how an this be resolved? if indeed it can?   sincerely morten wilken
