I haven't looked at Torque code in quite a while, so consider this food for
thought...
Castor has some cool facilities for handling type conversions
(http://castor.exolab.org/types.html). I have found this to be extremely useful
when dealing with Oracle's lack of a bit/boolean field. In a Castor mapping
file, one can do the following:
<field name="myColumn" type="boolean">
<sql name="MY_COLUMN" type="char[FT]"/>
</field>
MY_COLUMN is defined as CHAR(0) in the database. Note the <sql type> attribute -
it tells Castor to interpret the CHAR column as a boolean field. So, the
character 'F' is translated to a boolean false in Java.
Most of this is implemented in
(http://virtuals.intalio.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/castor/src/main/org/exolab/casto
r/mapping/loader/Types.java?cvsroot=castor).
