Hello,
I'm new to the list,
so please forgive me if I miss some common netiquette that is expected on this
list.
I'd like to try to
create a patch to solve 869, as well as support querying of collections of
composite types.
First, are there any
guidelines of what I should and shouldn't do? I'd love to clean up the
implementation of CriteriaQueryTranslator while I'm working in there, but if
that would disqualify my patch, then of course I should avoid that
;-)
Second, I'm having a
little trouble finding the metadata I need to implement
CriteriaQueryTranslator.getColumns() and
CriteriaQueryTranslator.getType() for composite collections. By that
point, I have access to: CollectionPersister, propertyName, and sqlAlias.
CollectionPersister.getElementType() returns a CompositType that appears to be
empty.
Thanks,
Daniel.
