Hard coded database plattforms... [message #376328] Wed, 09 July 2008 20:49 Go to next message

Hi,

Are there any plans to make the database support more configurable,
extensible? I just wanted to try EclipseLink with
the H2-Database (see: www.h2database.com) and had to use the HSQL Dialect
(no sequence support), because H2
is not supported by EclipseLink.

First thought was to write a support for the H2 database on my own.
Unfortunately all the database plattform identifier
are hard coded into internal classes in EclipseLink! I couldn't believe it,
but there is really one method for each supported
database in the abstract class
org.eclipse.persistence.internal.databaseaccess.Platform

Why don't you use any kind of factory and configure it from a file or let
the user name the plattform used within the
persistence.xml. In Hibernate there is a property for the persistence.xml,
which specifies the database dialect to use and
everybody can extend it, if needed. Of course, I can use the following
property

<property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="HSQL" />

but have no chance, if there is no build-in support for a database.

What about a property with the classified name of a Plattform-Implementation
to be used?

<property name="eclipselink.target-plattform"
value="org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.HSQLPlatform " />

Regards,
Michael

Michael,

In earlier versions of TopLink we always made the developer provide the
fully qualified platform name. We added the TargetDatabase enum with short
values to simplify things. If you do write your own platform you can still
specify it by providing the fully qualified class name in the value of the
property:

<property name="eclipselink.target-database"
value="mypackage.MyH2Platform" />

If you wish to contribute your H2 platform to the project please attach it
to a bug and we'll do our best to get it in the next release.

Doug

Hi Doug,

thanks for the hint. I extended the HSQLPlatform (see attachment) and tried
it with your Geodata example.
Works fine. ;-)
