Hi guys. Let me start by saying that am very greateful. This coz of what the cay team has made things simple and first.
Am just having a small problem which i think might have a simple solution, but can't figure it out. Am trying to query from a table T1 that has two objects T2 and T3 where if one object(lets say T2) is null the other is not null. Each of this two objects contain a similar object in them lets say T4 which i want to access through a search query. Here is the code thats is in place. StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer(); b.append("policy.client.clientName likeIgnoreCase $clientName "); b.append("or marine.client.clientName likeIgnoreCase $clientName "); b.append("and claimDetail.settled = $settled and claimDetail.recovery = $recovery "); Expression e1 = Expression.fromString(b.toString()); java.util.Map map = new java.util.HashMap(); map.put("clientName", searchField.getText().toLowerCase()+"%" ); Expression e2 = e1.expWithParameters(map); SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery(eBrokerClaim.class, e2); List list = context.performQuery(query); ...... ................ I get the following debug. 02:12:18,888 INFO QueryLogger:423 - --- will run 1 query. 02:12:18,889 INFO QueryLogger:377 - --- transaction started. 02:12:18,891 INFO QueryLogger:300 - SELECT t0.CLAIM_ASSESSOR_UNIQUE, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_CHEQUE, t0.CLAIM_CAUSE, t0.CLAIM_NUMBER, t0.CLAIM_TYPE_UNIQUE, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_CREDITNOTE, t0.CLAIM_POST_DATE, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_DV, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_HIGH, t0.CLAIM_ID, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_INBOUND, t0.CLAIM_INSURER_INTIMATION_DATE, t0.CLAIM_INTIMATION_EMAIL, t0.CLAIM_INTIMATION_FAX, t0.CLAIM_INTIMATION_LETTER, t0.CLAIM_INTIMATION_PHONE, t0.CLAIM_INTIMATION_DATE, t0.CLAIM_LETTER_UNIQUE, t0.CLAIM_LOSS_DATE, t0.CLAIM_LOSS_ESTIMATE, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_LOW, t0.CLAIM_MARINE_UNIQUE, t0.CLAIM_PRIORITY_MEDIUM, t0.CLAIM_PARTICULAR, t0.CLAIM_POLICY_UNIQUE, t0.CLAIM_REFERENCE, t0.CLAIM_REPORTED_BY, t0.CLAIM_REPORTED_TO, t0.CLAIM_TIME FROM EBROKER.EBROKER_CLAIMS t0, EBROKER.EBROKER_POLICIES t1, EBROKER.EBROKER_CLIENTS t2, EBROKER.EBROKER_MARINES t3, EBROKER.EBROKER_CLIENTS t4, EBROKER.EBROKER_CLAIMS_DETAILS t5 WHERE t0.CLAIM_POLICY_UNIQUE = t1.POLICY_ID AND t1.POLICY_CLIENT_UNIQUE = t2.CLIENT_ID AND t0.CLAIM_MARINE_UNIQUE = t3.MARINE_ID AND t3.MARINE_CLIENT_UNIQUE = t4.CLIENT_ID AND t0.CLAIM_ID = t5.CLAIM_DETAIL_ID AND (((UPPER(t2.CLIENT_NAME) LIKE UPPER(?)) AND (t0.CLAIM_MARINE_UNIQUE IS NULL)) OR ((t0.CLAIM_POLICY_UNIQUE IS NULL) AND (UPPER(t4.CLIENT_NAME) LIKE UPPER(?)) AND (t5.CLAIM_SETTLED = ?) AND (t5.CLAIM_RECOVERY = ?))) [bind: 'p%', 'p%', 'false', 'false'] 02:12:18,897 INFO QueryLogger:351 - === returned 0 rows. - took 7 ms. 02:12:18,898 INFO QueryLogger:384 - +++ transaction committed. To explaim the above query. EBROKER.EBROKER_CLAIMS (eBrokerClaim) is my T1 that is a child of EBROKER.EBROKER_POLICIES (eBrokerPolicy) and EBROKER.EBROKER_MARINES (eBrokerMarine) related to it (lets say T2 and T3 respectively) and T4 would be EBROKER.EBROKER_CLIENTS (eBrokerClient). Well i get no result. My problem which i can actually see it is here. WHERE t0.CLAIM_POLICY_UNIQUE = t1.POLICY_ID AND t1.POLICY_CLIENT_UNIQUE = t2.CLIENT_ID AND t0.CLAIM_MARINE_UNIQUE = t3.MARINE_ID AND t3.MARINE_CLIENT_UNIQUE = t4.CLIENT_ID from the above debug how can i make the second AND sql statement to be an OR this is beacuse inside eBrokerClaim, there is no way eBrokerPolicy and eBrokerMarine can exist together in the same row. One is null while the other is not null. Both contain eBrokerClient of which am searching thru DataObject path names. What would be the cayenne query statement i should use to avoid querying the policy AND the marine inside the claim (which i want it to be policy OR marine). This brings no result beacuse as i said marine and policy cant exist together in a claim table row.
