I am running into the following situation a lot:
I do a select on a table, one of it's fields is a pkey into another table.
I then set up a hashtable for the secondtable so that the template
writer can get the reference:
#foreach ($movie in $movies)
#set $type = $movieTypes.get($movie.MovieTypeID)
blah blah blah
$movie.Name
$type
#end
1. Is there a solution for this that I am missing ?
2. If not, how about adding a new column type to torque
<column name=... type=VIRTUAL>
All that will do is add the following to the BaseObject.
Object getXXX() {...}
void setXX(Object o) {...}
so the Programmer is then responsible for calling setXXX() and the
template writer can use the Object returned from getXXX()
e.g $movie.movieType or perhaps
$movie.movieType.Name
3. This allows you to provide more logical objects to the template writer
and the template writer has a cleaner interface to what he needs
to concentrate on.
thanks,
mike
