Mike,
>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.
I have been fiddling with Torque to get it to make my Velocity Templates as
well as the om classes, currently it does one to one type mapping like the
OM generation, which is ok for tables with no foreign keys in them. Maybe
instead of adding functionality to the <appdata> section, adding a new
series of tags for <objectdata> and <templatedata> to the project-schema
xml files so Torque could generate the SQL, OM classes, Object Classes,
Screen and Action classes and Velocity Templates. The <appdata> could be
used to supply the information for the generation of the others. Geir added
functionality to Velocity recently so Velocity could be generated with
Texen.
For an <objectdata> tag, I need things like invoicing, which in my case
pulls from three tables which describe fixedprice, labor and materials. So
maybe something like;
<objectdata>
<class name="invoice">
<package>
com.mycompany.invoice
</package>
<constructor>
<arg table="service" column="serviceid" />
<arg table="service" />
<constructor>
<field name="service" type="Object" table="service" />
<field name="fixedprice" type="Vector" table="fixedprice" get="true"
set="true" >
<criteria>
serviceid
</criteria>
<field>
<field name="fixedprice" type="Vector" table="labor" get="true"
set="true" >
....
</field>
<field name="fixedprice" type="Vector" table="materials" get="true"
set="true" >
...
</field>
</class>
</objectdata>
Something along those lines, this is a rough sketch, bear in mind :).
Something similar for a <templatedata> node too which could be the basis for
template, screen and action generation.
I *would* like some sort of scriptable RAD tool for my program objects and
templates. That way too my role in a web enabled application is to describe
the application to Torque and then fine tune it once Torque generates the
basis for it. That is closer to Jason's ideal of generating the application
from the command line and then going on holiday.
