20 | /** | |
21 | * represents Queries that can be used by the OJB PersistenceBroker | |
22 | * to retrieve Objects from the underlying DB. | |
23 | * Until now there are two implementations: | |
24 | * 1. QueryByCriteria, represents SELECT * FROM ... WHERE ... queries | |
25 | * 2. QueryByIdentity, uses Example objects or OIDs | |
26 | * as templates for the db lookup | |
27 | * there could additional implementations, e.g for user defined SQL | |
28 | * | |
29 | * For the Criteria API I reused code from the COBRA project, | |
30 | * as you will see by their class comments. | |
31 | * | |
32 | * I removed all stuff that relies on knowlegde of the DataDictionary | |
33 | * or MetaData layer. The Query and Criteria classes thus don't know | |
34 | * how to build SQL statements, as in the COBRA original sources. | |
35 | * I use the this classes as mere data-structures, that are | |
36 | * processed by the OJB Accesslayer (SqlGenerator, JdbcAccess). | |
37 | * | |
38 | * This design will allow to reuse the org.apache.ojb.broker.query package in other | |
39 | * projects without breaking any references. I hope this will be | |
40 | * useful for someone. | |
