RE: [Andromda-user] getHibernateTemplate from outside Dao

[Wouter Zoons]

That’s not a problem,   Just model an operation on the classifier scope of that entity, but do *not* assign it the FinderMethod stereotype. This will place the operation as an entity business operation in the DAO, that way you’ll have a finder method that you can implement yourself.   Here’s an example:       protected List handleSearch(ArticleSearchCriteria searchCriteria) throws ArticleException     {         try         {             final Session session = getSession();             Criteria articleCriteria = getHibernateTemplate().createCriteria(session, ArticleImpl.class);               if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(searchCriteria.getBarCode()))             {                 articleCriteria.add(_expression_.eq("barCode", searchCriteria.getBarCode()));             }               if (searchCriteria.getType() != null)             {                 Criteria typeCriteria = articleCriteria.createCriteria("type");                 typeCriteria.add(_expression_.eq("id", searchCriteria.getType()));             }               List list = articleCriteria.list();             this.closeSessionIfNecessary(session);               toArticleListItem(list);             return list;         }         catch (Exception e)         {             throw new ArticleException("Searching for articles failed", e);         }     }     -- Wouter   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Sterling Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 9:19 PM To: AndroMDA Users Mailing List Subject: [Andromda-user] getHibernateTemplate from outside Dao   We are currently having an issue of getting access to the Hibernate template from a class other than the *DaoBase class which extends HibernateDaoSupport.  The reason for this access is to create a special criteria that we can use to find an object by a String ignoring case. Is there any default to get access to the template from another class?   -- Chris Sterling Software Architect Codesic Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: 425-576-9292
