I feel very confortable with java syntax so my preference is easily explained.. <BR/>There's another project on codehaous.org wchich i think you may find intersting http://xircles.codehaus.org/projects/jequel<BR/><BR/>I just checkout the svn, so i cant give you many infos.gdefaccinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30950679.post-50387406207039222682007-12-10T11:39:00.000-08:002007-12-10T11:39:00.000-08:00@anonymous<BR/><BR/>I ran across JXPath in my searches, but to be honest, I simply don't know XPath well enough to do the kind of queries I'd easily do in a SQL-like language. Also, not everyone on my team is versed in XPath, but all of them have at least some basic familiarity with SQL.idcmphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10737882461734024589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30950679.post-32287288660794221472007-12-10T11:32:00.000-08:002007-12-10T11:32:00.000-08:00@gdefacci<BR/><BR/>You're right, I hadn't heard of Quaere; it looks like it's still pretty new. Quaere's syntax seems very jMock-like (I'm not sure what the correct term is). Also, it's not as simple as JoSQL. In Quaere I would write: <BR/><BR/><B>largePopulations = from("city"). in(cities). where(gt("city.getPopulation()", 10000000)). select("city.getName()");</B><BR/><BR/><BR/>But in JoSQL I would write:<BR/><BR/> <B>SELECT name FROM cities WHERE population &gt; 10000000</B><BR/><BR/>One last thing I hadn't mentioned in my post; the ability to dynamically create queries at runtime with JoSQL is a big win for me too. With Quaere I would need to route them through Groovy to do something similar.<BR/><BR/>I bet for a lot of people Quaere would suit their needs, but for me JoSQL seems to have stronger parity. Thanks for the tip!idcmphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10737882461734024589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30950679.post-3617487045957086182007-12-10T10:26:00.000-08:002007-12-10T10:26:00.000-08:00I think you are missing quaere (http://quaere.codehaus.org/) which is a sort of linq for java. I think linq is next generation data quering tool. <BR/>Quaere is not so different from JoSql. The main point is that using quaere you express your queries using java syntax (which is better, in my opinion), instead of using sql like syntax. <BR/>Give quaere a look. It's a very very nice project.gdefaccinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30950679.post-55875747404922606512007-12-10T09:19:00.000-08:002007-12-10T09:19:00.000-08:00Hibernate has an @Filter annotation that serves the purpose (for persistent collections, of course)Jose Nohedahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05894885162810151648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30950679.post-84561011182974633462007-12-10T05:24:00.000-08:002007-12-10T05:24:00.000-08:00JXPath?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
