includeFrom outer join?

[bbruyn]

Can a datasource field's includeFrom attribute generate an outer join instead of an inner? Doesn't look that way, but here's hoping I've just missed something... if not, perhaps a feature sponsorship?

[Isomorphic]

Currently no, but something like an attribute field.joinType could make this possible and makes sense as a sponsorship.

Note this kind of thing looks like it would be simple enough to just do without setting up a sponsorship, but there are lots of variations in join syntax for different DBs, and this needs to work correctly even with there are multiple joins involved (some outer, some normal/inner).

For anyone searching for this feature - it was implemented and can be used as such:

<field foreignKey="test.id" joinType="outer" name="test2"</field>

Uppercase please

Hello,

I found the property in the documentation: http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/docs/serverds/DataSourceField.html#joinType in this definition JoinType is all uppercase. If I use the uppercase version it doesn't work.

Please update this behavior or the documentation because only thanks of this post I was able put specify an outer join.

Is there a DataSource XSD?

Is there a DataSource XSD?

cramirez, please see http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=18093 regarding the XSD file question.

I understand Isomorphic's point of view regarding the extensibility of the ds.xml format
(see http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte...lang.String%29).
Nevertheless it should be possible to create an own (growing) version of a XSD adjusted to your needs, which will save you a lot of trouble with typos or careless mistakes in ds.xml files.
I thought myself of it, but never started it. If you are interested in doing so I'd appreciate if you share your results.

Best regards,
