I agree that using the "->" symbol is strange. Ideally we should be supporting JavaBean syntax on names for accessing the data. The "->" symbol is just not Java. There is a problem with queries, but this can be solved with a bit of extra coding.
I have actually written an implementation of PersistentField that uses nested JavaBeans similar to PersistentFieldpropertyImpl which I can donate to the project., but this issue needs to be resolved so that I can make sure the PATH_TOKEN is consistent. I am willing to have a go at making the queries work using a "." separator is it is agreed that this is the way to go. oliver.matz@p pi.de To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: 31/01/2003 Subject: PersistentNestedFieldMaxPerformanceImpl.PATH_TOKEN == " 06:30 PM ->" Please respond to "OJB Users List" Hello, I have a minor issue that is not really caused by OJB. I apologize if this mail is misplaced here. If you feel so, please ignore it. In order to use the PersistentNestedFieldMaxPerformanceImpl, I have to place something like <field-descriptor name="x->y" column="X_Y" jdbc-type="INTEGER"/> into the repository_user.xml I generate this file using xslt-stylesheets, and it is a bit difficult to get that '>' symbol into the attribute. Can't we change the syntax to use PATH_TOKEN == "." rather than "->"? I know I can write my own PersistentNestedFieldImpl with that modification, but maybe other people have that same problem. Besides, the "->"-syntax is not Java-like, is it?
