Overriding SchemaTool
Hi all,
as already said on this mailing list, I am working on an OpenJPA product
derivation for dealing with Windows Azure Database sharding [1].
For our needs, I have to subclass some OpenJPA core classes and that's
generally fine because most aspects were already thought with
extensibility in mind.
Unfortunately, it seems that SchemaTool [2] doesn't fall into this
category: most methods are private or package-private, thus making life
of a poor extender very hard [3].
Is there any specific reason for this? Any hope to turn most of
'private' from SchemaTool into 'protected'?
Regards.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Francesco,
There really is no hard rule or reason for these private methods. As we
have continued to extend OpenJPA in various ways, many of the internal
private methods have had to be changed to protected. I would suggest
opening a JIRA and posting a proposed patch for the methods you want to
change. I would guess this type of change would be pretty easy to
accept... (famous last words)
