this works, just checking to see if its the idiomatic way-- as the docs didn't point to it...
basically: a query in a manager for non-key fields... results are stuffed into $results check scalar @$ to see if there are results i *think* @$results is the right way to handle it. $results is a rosedb object, but overloads make it seem like an arrayref ==== package MyApp::RoseDB::Object::Sample::Manager; use Rose::DB::Object::Manager; our @ISA = qw(Rose::DB::Object::Manager); sub object_class { 'MyApp::RoseDB::Object:: Sample' } sub seach_for_existence { my ( $class, %args ) = @_ ; my $results= $class->get_item( query=> [ linked_id=> $args{linked_id} , type_id=> $args{type_id} , resource=> $args{resource} ], db=> $args{db} ); if ( scalar @$results ) { return $results; } else { return 0; } } | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | RoadSound.com / Indie-Rock.net | Collaborative Online Management And Syndication Tools | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
