Here is the example - I had an idea and implemented a possible fix that works.
I would like to know before I submit a patch, whether it really is a solution
or if there is a better way. In short, can I get feedback here?
--------
Problem:
Some of our beans contain object references to other beans. Those nested beans
may have properties that are intended to be filled in by one or more fields
from a query. However, since it is not on the surface, Dbutils cannot find
where the property is and so the nested property remains unfilled.
Example:
Consider a table Moods to track our demeanor while we engage in an activity. So
it has two columns; face (demeanor) and activity.
Face Activity
----- --------
huffing Jog
smile Work
engrossed movie
sad Cry
distant distracted
bored waiting
Bean Foo contains an object reference to an instance - a bean- of class Bar.
Foo contains data field or property 'face', and Bar contains the property
'activity', that we want to fill from this query:
"select face, activity from Mood"
public class Foo {
private String face;
private Bar bar;
public String getFace() {return face;}
public void setFace(String face) {this.face = face;}
public void setBar(Bar bar) {this.bar = bar;}
public Bar getBar() {return bar;}
}
public class Bar {
private String activity;
public String getActivity() {return activity;}
public void setActivity(String activity) {this.activity = activity;}
}
Old way:
QueryRunner runner = new QueryRunner();
BeanHandler bh = new BeanHandler(Foo.class);
Foo foo = (Foo) runner.query(connection,
"select face, activity from Mood", bh);
Result:
Foo.bar is null and its fields are unpopulated.
thanks,
Anil Philip

File a bug with an example? I'm not sure I quite understand your
scenario.
