Thomas/Armin, What is the best way to filter instances of a class every time that it's fetched by OJB? Here is my situation...
I have a class called 'Owner' which has an attribute 'ownershipPercent'. I want any queries run by OJB against this class to ALWAYS filter out records/objects whose ownershipPercent == 0.0. Of course, the obvious way to do this is to add this condition to my Criteria everywhere in my code that I fetch 'Owners'. Although, I can do this, it's not really practical when I consider the amount of time it's going to take me and when I consider the regression impacts. I have been considering the use of one of the following: 1) Using a custom RowReader on the 'Owner' class descriptor to filter out the unwanted rows/objects 2) Using a CacheFilter to filter out 'Owners' where the ownershipPercent is 0. Either solution seems like it *might* suit my need as it will handle any fetches on these objects gotten via collection descriptors, reference descriptors, or just queries against the 'Owner' class itself. Am I on the right track at all?? If so, which of these solutions is better? I have looked into the use of the RowReader and was wondering how to fit this functionality into the readObjectArrayFrom method and I wasn't sure if it was wise to simply skip rows in the ResultSet or not.
