[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-274) Write a programmatic mapping API for constraint declarations

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-274?page=com... ] Emmanuel Bernard commented on HV-274: ------------------------------------- {quote} That's true, but personally I think it "reads more fluid" the way I proposed in my first comment. I also don't like "endless chaining" and think it is ok to call addConstraint for each new constraint. It also avoids the additional .configure or .freeze() {quote} So {code} config.addConstraint( Size.class ).onField("items").ofType(ShoppingCart.class); config.addConstraint( NotNull.class ).onField("items").ofType(ShoppingCart.class); config.addValid( Size.class ).onField("items").ofType(ShoppingCart.class); {code} is more fluid, more liking and more readable than {code} config .type( ShoppingCart.class ); .onField("items") .addConstraint( Size.class ) .addConstraint( NotNull.class ) .addValid() {code} Be honest :) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
