Best practice: 12.0p Serverside manipulation of incoming Criteria and serverside walking though an AdvancedCriteria object

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

what is the best practice for walking though a AdvancedCriteria object like you most likely do for getFieldCriterion()?
Serverside AdvancedCriteria does not have too much methods, nothing that returns a List<Criteria>.
I'd like some way to get a list of all inner Criterion, best directly as instance of their correct Criterion-subclass from a AdvancedCriteria object.

Then I'd like to change or add some criterion in the tree.
Reason is that I can make my statements faster if I replace or amend some iContains client-side criteria with additional ID-criteria in order to support the DB optimizer.

Thank you & Best regards
Blama

Hi Isomorphic,

ah I found it. It can be done with AdvancedCriteria.asCriterion().

I assume the correct practice is to build a copy and replace what is not wanted with different stuff and not to try to modify the existing object.
Then at the end call DSRequest.setCriteria() with the new object.

Best regards
