Can finders use Collection as parameters?

[aparaapara]

Is there a way to make the following work?


<query-method>
<method-name>findByComponents</method-name>
<method-params>
<method-param>java.util.Collection</method-param>
</method-params>
</query-method>
<ejb-ql>
select object(pv) from pictureValue pv where pv.component member of ?1
</ejb-ql>


Thanks.

Hello,

could you more specific with what your finder is trying to achieve ? If you are using simple select query why not use ejbSelect as it prove much more simple and flexible


Thanks.

I have a relationship between Component (1) <- (1) PictureValue. PictureValue could navigate to the Component. I have a collection of Component EJBs, and I am trying to find all the PictureValue EJBs by seeing if the PictureValue.component MEMBER OF CollectionOfComponents.

In other words, I was trying to pass a collection of objects to the finder.

I looked at the EJB spec, and EJB-QL does not support this construct. So even if JBOSS does, my code will not be J2EE compliant.

I have since decided to follow a different approach.

Thanks.
