Arnaud,
If I understand you, I think you want to do this in the code and not the
modeler?
Here is a simple code fragment for a like-ignore-case qualifier:
String substring = "Martin";
ObjectContext oc = BaseContext.getThreadObjectContext();
Expression exp =
ExpressionFactory.likeIgnoreCaseExp(Product.NAME_PROPERTY, ("%" + substring +
"%"));
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery(Product.class, exp);
List list = oc.performQuery(query);
System.out.println("\ncount: " + list.size());
This is pretty efficient and to my knowledge does not trigger any DataObject
faults. There are a few other ways to do this depending on your design. The
ExpresionFactory has a lot of powerful methods to help you out.
