Abator: Custom DAO

[Odilon Oliveira <od...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'm trying add a custom method to my DAO interface, like retrieveAll() to
return all objects from database.
Looking at documentation, the AbstractDAOTemplate class doesnt provide a way
to do this.

Taking a look at BaseDAOGenerator class we have
getExtraImplementationMethods method, but nothing related
to add new methods in DAO interface.

Any clue ?

Jeff,

Would be interesting have methods like that.
So in your templates you have precise control about what will be exposed to
the interface.

Thanks for the example. =)

* Let me know if you implement that features.

retrieveAll methods are simple to write:

List retrieveAll() {
  XXXExample example = new XXXExample();
  return selectByExample(example);
}

I did not include support for them in the base Abator code because I think
it's kind of unusual to use them.

Nevertheless, if you are trying to build a custom DAO generator that will
always generate them then I haven't made it easy for you.  I'll add a call
to enable you to add methods to the interface also.  I'll add something
similar to the SqlMapGenerator and the JavaModeGenerator too in case that
would be useful to anyone.
