This is all available from the associated ColumnMap object. All you need to do is use: ColumnMap cMap = rec.getTableMap().getColumn( RecPeer.COL ); or ColumnMap cMap = RecPeer.getTableMap().getColumn( RecPeer.COL ); cMap has methods to get XML schema information like getDescription(), isNotNull(), getSize(), getScale(). This is all metadata that only need to be stored once and not in each generated object class. Note: Some of this was available in V3.2... but 3.3-RC1 has major rewrite of this.

So there could be a method like > isMandatory(COLUMNNAME). One application for this could be generic analyzing > of objects before saving to avoid SQL exceptions. > Other informations would be size, scale and description for example. > Of course we could retrieve this informations from the database but this > means that we have to communicate with the database and there could be > database specific inconsistency. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
