Enhancement: Many serverside AdvancedCriteria convenience methods missing

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

I played around a bit and came up with this:

private static AdvancedCriteria addToCriteria(AdvancedCriteria oldAC, AdvancedCriteria newAC) {
	if (oldAC == null && newAC == null)
		return null;
	else if (oldAC != null && newAC == null)
		return oldAC;
	else if (oldAC == null && newAC != null)
		return newAC;
	else {
		if (oldAC.asCriterion().getOperatorId().equals(DefaultOperators.And.getID())) {
			@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
			Map<String, Object> oldCritList = oldAC.getCriteriaAsMap();
			@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
			ArrayList<Object> s = (ArrayList<Object>) oldCritList.get("criteria");
			s.add(newAC.asCriterion());
			AdvancedCriteria returnAC = AdvancedCriteria.fromCollections(s, DefaultOperators.And.getID());
			return returnAC;
		} else
			return new AdvancedCriteria(DefaultOperators.And, new Criterion[] { oldAC.asCriterion(), newAC.asCriterion() });
	}
}

In my case, it returned the correct result, but I wouldn't bet on it :)

Is this safe to use?

Hi Isomorphic,

these would be really helpful, at least some add that works like DSRequest.addToCriteria(...) ("add to existing list if outermost operator is AND, create new AND otherwise"), but takes AdvancedCriteria (or Criteria or Criterion), not (fieldName, operator, value).

I have this code inside a loop:

for (Object fn : dsRequest.getDataSource().getFieldNames()) {
	String fieldName = fn.toString();
	if (fieldName.endsWith("_TENANT_ID")) {
		if (!isOuterJoined(fieldName, dsRequest.getDataSource()))
			dsRequest.addToCriteria(fieldName, DefaultOperators.Equals.getID(),
					User.getUserTenantId(dsRequest.getHttpServletRequest()));
		else {
			// xyz_TENANT_ID = x OR xyz_TENANT_ID IS NULL
			AdvancedCriteria xyzTenantID = new AdvancedCriteria(DefaultOperators.Or, new Criterion[] {
					new SimpleCriterion(fieldName, DefaultOperators.Equals, User.getUserTenantId(dsRequest
							.getHttpServletRequest())), new IsNullCriterion(fieldName) });
[B]			// (old == null) ? new : (old)+(new) or even ((old))+(new)
			AdvancedCriteria newAc = (dsRequest.getAdvancedCriteria() == null) ? xyzTenantID : new AdvancedCriteria(
					DefaultOperators.And, new Criterion[] { dsRequest.getAdvancedCriteria().asCriterion(),
							xyzTenantID.asCriterion() });
[/B]			dsRequest.setAdvancedCriteria(newAc);
		}
	}
}

It results in a parenthesis-monster like this (formatted):

SELECT COUNT (*)

       LEFT OUTER JOIN T_CATEGORY1 ON T_RESELLER.CATEGORY1_ID = T_CATEGORY1.ID
       LEFT OUTER JOIN T_CATEGORY2 ON T_RESELLER.CATEGORY2_ID = T_CATEGORY2.ID

The following expresses the same, but is better readable:

       AND ( (T_CATEGORY9.TENANT_ID = 0 AND T_CATEGORY9.TENANT_ID IS NOT NULL) OR (T_CATEGORY9.TENANT_ID IS NULL))

Would the latter already be possible, meaning I'm overlooking some API?

Hello Isomorphic,

for com.isomorphic.criteria.AdvancedCriteria (http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte...dCriteria.html) there are no convenience methods to add com.isomorphic.criteria.SimpleCriteria, com.isomorphic.criteria.criterion.* or com.isomorphic.criteria.AdvancedCriteria to an existing object.

All I can see are "constructors", but no "add" methods. Methods like DSRequest.addToCriteria(...) (http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwte...lang.Object%29) or like on the client side would really help a lot.

Thank you & Best regards,
Blama
