CG Monroe commented on TORQUE-147:
----------------------------------
(Sorry for the direct torque-dev response.. re-doing it for the Jira issue).
Moving methods to generated / changing interface +1 from me.
Get/SetByName, et. al.
IMHO, it would be *NICE* to have an interface that covers these. A use case
for this would be common normalization or lookup functions. E.g., a function
with a record object and column name as parameters that does something common
to multiple table and columns, like scanning for profanity or normalizing case
in across multiple tables that contains title and description fields.
Perhaps this could be based on the java LinkedHashMap object methods or the
org.apache.commons.collections.OrderedMap interface? With the key being the
column name. Then allow users the choice of simple persistent objects or
collection based persistent objects (which is a superset of the simple objects).
I think you're right about getTableMap. That is Torque specific (but needed).
If someone needs it inside a function using an interface parameter, they can
always use the baseObject or cast

> Currently it is an error if database objects do not inherit from BaseObject.
> This makes embedding of Torque objects in other frameworks very difficult,
> because it does not allow to choose an own parent to inherit from.
> The minimum requirement would be that it is not required any more that
> database objects inherit from BaseObject.
> Ideally BaseObject dies and the base objects inherit directly from
> java.lang.object.
