The biggest change is in UserType. In the 3.6 branch (i.e., 3.6.2 and
later 3.6.x releases) , the following UserType methods will be deprecated:
public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String[] names, Object owner)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int index)
A non-deprecated alternative cannot be provided in 3.6.x, because doing
so would break implementations of UserType.
In master (H4), these deprecated methods will be replaced by:
public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String[] names,
SessionImplementor session, Object owner)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int
index, SessionImplementor session)
This change in master will be a breaking change that will be documented
in the H4 migration guide.
Also in master, I will be removing the nullSafeGet/nullSafeSet/get/set
methods from SingleColumnType and AbstractSingleColumnStandardBasicType
that were deprecated in 3.6
When I make these changes, I will make sure that any UserTypes defined
in master are intact.
Please let me know if there would be a problem making these changes to
master. Unless I hear otherwise, I plan to make these changes on Friday.
Cheers,
Gail

Yes stuff like this should always be disucssed in open (mailing list or dev
irc). See inline...

I also plan to do the following in master:
1) remove the following from SingleColumnType in master
(already deprecated in 3.6.1):
public T nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String name)
public Object get(ResultSet rs, String name)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, T value, int index)
public void set(PreparedStatement st, T value, int index)
OK...
2) remove the following from AbstractSingleColumnStandardBasicType
in
master
(needs to be deprecated in 3.6.2; {@inheritDoc} didn't seem to apply
the deprecation)
public T nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String name)
public Object get(ResultSet rs, String name)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, T value, int index)
public void set(PreparedStatement st, T value, int index)
NO_OPTIONS (no longer needed in master)
OK (to me the deprecation applies to
the API overall)
3) In UserType in master:
- remove
Q: people complain if a method is deprecated w/o providing the
preferred method;
providing the preferred method in 3.6.2 would break UserType;
should this just be documented as a breaking change in the
migration guide?
I've already defended this many many times. People are always
going to be
unhappy about something. I firmly believe this is the right approach.
public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String[] names,
Object
owner)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int
index)
- add to master:
public Object nullSafeGet(ResultSet rs, String[] names,
SessionImplementor session, Object owner)
public void nullSafeSet(PreparedStatement st, Object value, int
index, SessionImplementor session)
4) update references to removed methods in master
Well yeah ;)
I don't want to break other software that is trying to integrate with
H4. I don't want to get slapped like when I removed ServiceRegistry from
Configuration.
Not sure about the point here. Making breaking changes is going to
break
people's uses. IMO we got into trouble with ServiceRegistry because its not
really ready yet and we should have hidden it for a bit longer. For
integrators I usually recommend they implement through Type rather than
UserType.
So, should I wait on these changes, or would it suffice to give a heads
up about these changes on the hibernate-dev mailing list?
Is there a migration guide for H4?
Yep,
http://community.jboss.org/wiki/HibernateCoreMigrationGuide40
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Gail
