[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-906) Support better readable results when toString isn't implemented for "select new SomeObject(p1, p2, p3)" statements

Joseph Marques commented on HBX-906:
------------------------------------

I'm just trying to make the tools better usable out of the box.  I think it's important to implement the toString method, so perhaps you could also drop a WARNING into the Problems view (or the error log) saying that it's a good idea to implement it.

> If I have some class called SomeObject WITHOUT a toString method, and I have some statement like "select new SomeObject(p1, p2, p3)", the results look like
> 0
> SomeObject at 19cd8ea
> SomeObject at 65168f
> SomeObject at ac1d0e
> SomeObject at 1a79e4
> SomeObject at 9cd89b
> SomeObject at 11c00d8
> ...
> Instead, why not attempt to show the results as:
>   0                              1                              2
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> In other words, statements like "select new SomeObject(p1, p2, p3) ..." should default to the same results that "select p1, p2, p3 ..." would.
> Thoughts?
