RE: [Hibernate] Polymorphic queries, where and order by
Well, couldn't it be reclassified as a bug fix? Not being able to navigate associations because of a hard coded "this" in the construction of the order by seems like something many people would face. I could be wrong. Anyway this patch has been around a long time and as far as I can tell was submitted properly. More importantly H3 is not even released and support for it in Spring is even farther off. Any reason 2.1 is being abandoned so soon? I'm not asking for another 2.1 release.

Re: [Hibernate] Polymorphic queries, where and order by
This is not a bug. HQL is an OO query language. You've queried the superclass, not the subclass. It seems pretty natural to me that you can't order by a subclass attribute. What you want and the patch provided does work only in particular cases. "from java.lang.Object o order by o.publicPrice" cannot be done in SQL since java.lang.Object has to be queried in several SQL SELECTs I recommend you order at the Java level 2.1 is *not* abandonned. We are actively providing bug fixes and support of the 2.1 family. We are working very hard on H3 to provide tons of new features, you can understand we cannot backport and keep several branch of code in a feature working process. Spring integration of H3 should be pretty straightforward (import update net.sf.hibernate -> org.hibernate) That's basically all you need (maybe check for HibernateException since it moved to the RuntimeException hierarchy).

We have been testing and using this patch for about a month. We will be going live with this if we cannot get it integrated into CVS. Obviously we prefer it get applied to CVS.

RE: [Hibernate] Polymorphic queries, where and order by
I'm sorry if I expand the subject a little. We pulled a patch off the forums some where that allows us to order by any association. I was wondering why this patch never got applied. It seems it would be useful in this situation as well. I am really uncomfortable using a patched hibernate because there are less eyes on it and it makes upgrading harder. I can submit the patch as we've applied it if you like. But also let me know if there is any reason for not allowing this type of functionality. It has been extremely useful to us in our searches as I think it would be to others. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hibernate-devel- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Draï > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 1:31 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Hibernate] Polymorphic queries, where and order by > > Let's say we have the following (simplified) mapping : > > > > > > > > > > Now we can execute any HQL query on the class A using the field1, for > example > "from A a where a.field1 like 'anything%'" or "from A a order by a.field1" > > The problems come when we want to use the field2 with the same queries. > Of couse in simple SQL it is possible to do > select * from T order by field2 > > But in HQL, "from A a order by a.field2" rightly fails because field2 is > not defined > for class A. > > This causes problems in sortable or filtered data tables where the user > can sort or filter > by any column he wants. > There is currently only two options : > - allowing to sort only on columns of class A : possible but my users > won't be really happy > - "casting" the query to class B when the user sorts on a column of > class B : that means that the results > count of the query is not the same when it is sorted than when it is > not ; it completely breaks the > semantics of sorting/filtering > > I understand it does not follow the OO approach of HQL but it would be > really useful to have an additional > syntax to allow using fields of the subclass in HQL queries, something > like "select a from A+ a order by a.field2", > or maybe an option in the Query interface like > query.setUseInheritedProperties(true). > > What do you think of this ? > > Note : this is an extension of the JIRA HB-792 and could allow to > resolve this case in a better way > > > William > > > > --- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
