Re: sql in validator

[Joel Wilson]

I frequently use hql in my validators. And if you aren't a Hibernate User, HQL is the hibernate extension of SQL.

I have an application where users choose an id, and I could create a validator with sql to see if that user id is already taken. Or are there better ways to do things like this?   Thanks, Lance Joel Wilson Web Application Developer/Architect D E V O T I O N --------------------- Skype: Jesfrk7 Skype: 321.285.7470 Cell: 321-332.4654 Office: 407.677.8514 Fax: 407.677.8610 --------------------- 1964 Howell Branch Road Suite 102 Winter Park, Florida 32792 --------------------- Changing the world, one byte at a time . . .
