Burt -- When I first approached Thomas regarding what I wanted to accomplish, we both agreed that my implementation did not fit well into the 'core' OJB api. However, we agreed to implement some new features and enhance some existing ones to enable me to extend/customize OJB to support my needs. I'm not sure if that view point has changed. Thomas may be able to comment further.
With respect to the specific changes you mention, here are my explanations: I had to extend org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.StatementsForClassImpl because this was where the JDBC statement is created that will be used to perform the insert/update/delete operation. Out of the box, this class creates a PreparedStatement. In my situation, I needed it to create a CallableStatement so that I could 'harvest' values that were returned by the stored procedure. So, my change was to simply replicate the code in prepareStatement(Connection, String, boolean) and change "con.prepareStatement" to "con.prepareCall". I had to override getStatementsForClass(ClassDescriptor) because the implementation provided by org.apache.ojb.broker.accesslayer.StatementManager instantiated the StatementsForClassImpl class, not my extension (above). I believe that somewhere in my dialogs with Thomas, we discussed the possibility of making the first situation 'pluggable' so that neither of these extensions would be required. Maybe some sort of 'StatementFactory' implementation. I don't recall exactly where those discussions went. Maybe it's time to reconsider the option since others are starting to use stored procedures. Those are my thoughts.
