[castor-dev] A couple of hacks

[Stein M. Eliassen]

Hi there!

I made a couple of hacks to Castor-0.9.5 so I don't need to specify a 
set-method and xml-only fields are not attempted loaded in types mapped 
to both table and xml.

Here is an example-mapping:

<class name="Course" auto-complete="false" identity="ID" 
key-generator="IDENTITY">
	<cache-type type="time-limited" capacity="3600"/>
	<map-to table="course" xml="course"/>
	<field name="ID" type="integer" key-generator="identity">
		<sql name="course_id"/>
		<bind-xml name="course_id"/>
	</field>
	<field name="startWeek" type="integer">
		<sql name="start_week"/>
		<bind-xml name="start_week"/>
	</field>
	<field name="startYear" type="integer">
		<sql name="start_year"/>
		<bind-xml name="start_year"/>
	</field>
	<field name="startDate" type="date" get-method="getStartDate">
		<bind-xml name="start"/>
	</field>
</class>

startDate is just a get-method, set at runtime from startWeek and 
startYear and thus not stored in the database.

Instead of throwing an exception in FieldMolder when it can't find a 
set-method I've just commented out the throw-clause (In the Constructor 
and setValue).

The other hack is in the SQLEngine-constructor and it now only test for 
JDOFieldDescriptor-type:
if (fieldDescriptors[i] instanceof JDOFieldDescriptor /*&& 
(fieldDescriptors[i].getClassDescriptor() != null) */)

Any comments and/or alternative methods of doing this?
