how to map Peer.field-name --> BO-member

[Marc Lustig <ma...@marclustig.com>]

Hi,
I'm simply trying to get a field from a torque-object by field-name.
How is this done?

More specifically, how do I actually map between the member of the BO and
the name of the field?

An example:
ProductPeer has: public static final String ORT; // the field name
Product has member: private byte ort=0;

What I need is a method in Product that looks like this:
Object getMemberByFieldName(String fieldname); // fieldname should refer to
ProductPeer

in my case: getMemberByFieldName("ORT") should return product.ort;

Can somebody please advise me about a solution that is available?

Remark: BaseObject.getByName(java.lang.String field) does not contain any
generic functionality at all.

Thanks in advance.
Marc

I'm using Torque-b3 so it may be different on your version, but it
should just be:

Product.getByName("ORT");
or 
Product.getByPeerName(ProductPeer.ORT);

Note:  these functions return an Object (eg, an Integer instead of an
int)

Look in the generated code in BaseProduct.

Hope this helps.
