Subject: [Db-torque Wiki] Update of "TorqueFour" by ThomasFischer

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Db-torque Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by ThomasFischer:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-torque/TorqueFour

New page:
= Torque 4 =

The plans of the Torque development team for Torque 4 are summarized below. Please change this page only after discussing your proposal on the Torque developers list.

----

Consensus is to do the following things:

 * Next main version should be 4.0.

 * Simplify the repository structure: No svn externals any more

 * Kick out village

 * Change the way to handle non-record-type queries (we used village for that until now)

 * Criterias should not be modified any more inside queries.

 * Disentangle Query description and SQL creation code.

 * Use the Criteria object only to hold query data and another object to hold update data. Criteria should not extend Hashtable any more.

 * Use a column object to hold the column name in the runtime instead of Strings

 * Support views

 * Use a custom velocity renderer to have nicely trimmed generated code.

 * Have a non-static version of Peer classes. Implementation details are under discussion.

 * Evaluate whether ddlutils can be used for some generator tasks

Under discussion:

 * Switch to Maven 2 as build system.

 * Make the generator more generic.

 * Support primitives in data objects

Problematic:

 * Use Java 5 style generics and enumerations. The problem is that Java 5 code does not run on jdk 1.4

In a later version of Torque 4:

 * Support for object level views

In a later version of Torque 4, under discussion:

 * Support for lazy loading
