I have downloaded and examined the source to the JPA plugin and have found
a limitation that I believe goes back to ODA itself and I would like some
opinions.
Basically the problem I have is that I am not content with scalar queries.
I want to be able to return Objects to the report and evaluate properties
on it. I figured it would be very easy, just returning the object itself
in one of the resultset's column... However it only supports primitives.
IResultSet has no method to retrieve an object from the underlying query
mechanism... Was that by design or a design flaw?
Is there a way around this? I would hate to serialize it to a blob just to
access it...
