Cayenne 3.1 and "Query-as-objects"

[Andrew Lindesay <ap...@lindesay.co.nz>]

Hello Andrus;

A while back we discussed a bit about how 3.1 might have a "object 
representation" for EJBQLQuery so that a query could be built without 
needing to parse an EJBQL string and so that it might be possible to 
work with a query in a more "programmatic" manner.

I've skimmed over the 3.1 packages, but can't see an obvious location 
for that material -- did you do that in the end and if so, can you point 
me in the right direction where I might be able to find it?

cheers.

Hi Andrus;

Ah I hadn't realised that it was not yet more or less feature-complete.

OK so still in the pipeline -- that's great.  Yes; "Generified queries" 
would be really nice too.

Thanks for the clarification.

cheers.

I should also clarify our release naming conventions. 3.1M1 being voted right now is an intermediate milestone release, and does not include the entire 3.1 feature scope. At some point we'd make a 3.1B1 release ("B" == "beta"), when we officially declare a feature freeze. B1 will be the first release with the complete 3.1 scope.

This is still on the TODO list. No work has been done in this area yet. 

Considering that we also want to provide generified queries (which is probably as a part of this feature), this is a pretty big task.
