I suggest that you either add a patch to the issue, or open a new

Re: OPENJPA-182: reuse Connection constants or create our own?

2007-04-17 Thread Ritika Maheshwari

Patrick,
   we just discovered that there is a problem with this
fix.Theproblem is that the FOR READ ONLY flag is getting generated for
subselects
as well.

Basically for DB2 if forUpdate was false we append FOR READ ONLY we need
another check to see that it is not a subselect.To me it appears that in the
toSelect method when SelectImpl is passed we check that the parent is null
or not to figure out that it is a subselect and then pass another flag
subselect to the getForUdateClause method where we say
   if(!forUpdate && !subselect)
forUpdateString.append(forReadOnlyClause)
to achieve this we would probably have to override the toSelect methods in
DB2Dictionary again unless there is a better way.

One note of caution about using enums - there can be a problem in passing enums 
from a client to a server using RMI-IIOP serialiazation - see GlassFish issue 
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=193 for some details.

Adding in enum-based methods seems like a good idea to me.

There isn't much harm in starting here and finishing the rest of FetchPlan
later, so long as we do it someday.

OPENJPA-182: reuse Connection constants or create our own?

2007-04-06 Thread Patrick Linskey
Hi,

There's one last open issue for OPENJPA-182 that I know of. Currently,
the JDBCFetchPlan.setIsolation() and
JDBCFetchConfiguration.setIsolation() methods use the symbolic constants
defined in Connection. Should they, or should we use our own?

I think that JDBCFetchPlan should take a Java 5 enum, and
JDBCFetchConfiguration should use the Connection values. The reasons for
this are:

1. enums are nicer than symbolic constants, API-wise

2. enums should work more intuitively from XML-based hints or string
hints (we could make our hint conversion stuff know to try to reflect on
enums based on their names)

3. Since these concepts are exactly the same as the Connection
constants, in JDBCFetchConfiguration, we should just use them and not
redefine the wheel.

Thoughts?
