Tilmann Zäschke commented on JDO-736: ------------------------------------- I'm not sure about the JDO baggage, I guess if QueryResult implements the List interface, they could simply return it as List if they want, otherwise they could return the unique object? +1 for the execute(Object...) > Change Query API to make use of generics to avoid casting execute() results > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JDO-736 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-736 > Project: JDO > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: api, specification, tck > Reporter: Andy Jefferson > Fix For: JDO 3.2 > > > The query API is dated, requiring casting of results to the required type. > Let's make use of generics etc and remove the pain. This will mean changing > the API so that the resultClass (and possibly more) will need passing into > the > execute() method(s). Could also specify parameters via setter rather than > just on the execute. > See JDO-652 also, we need to have a consistent way of executing queries > whether created using strings or typesafe, so that no casting of results is > needed with either -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
