We have developed a simple wrapper for Torque that allows integration with the Spring Framework. By using it, you get some support for Generics.
https://torque-spring.dev.java.net/ Currently we support a simple set of methods. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx package org.springmodules.orm.torque; import java.util.List; import org.apache.torque.om.BaseObject; public interface TorqueExternalOperations extends TorqueOperations { <T extends BaseObject> T create(Class<T> torqueObjectClass) throws TorqueSpringException; <T extends BaseObject> List<T> find(Class<T> torqueObjectClass, int[] ids) throws TorqueSpringException; <T extends BaseObject> T find(Class<T> torqueObjectClass, int id) throws TorqueSpringException; <T extends BaseObject> void remove(T persistableObject) throws TorqueSpringException; <T extends BaseObject> void save(T persistableObject) throws TorqueSpringException; <T extends BaseObject> T copy(final T object) throws TorqueSpringException; } xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note this framework it is not replacement for torque it is just adds extra functionality typical for springframework. We are looking for reviews/suggestions for expansion/improvement any peer review would be appreciated.
