[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... ] Gunnar Morling commented on HV-274: ----------------------------------- I like the builder pattern approach. Sticking to the original pattern description from Bloch all the mandatory attributes (e.g. type) should be parameters of the addConstraint() method, otherwise users might forget to call the according method. Maybe one could have three methods addConstraintTo{Type|ToField|ToProperty}() which would each have the required parameters (constraint/type, constraint/type/field name, constraint/type/property name)? -- 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
