Queries, the shortest way

Following a recent suggestion by an user Ammentos 1.3.5 introduced a new interesting feature: method chaining into SqlQueryFilter class. This allows a more concise syntax for loading objects, with no need to declare temporary SqlFilters objects.

With previous versions to load a Person object you had to write all this code:

SqlQueryFilter sql = new SqlQueryFilter("name=? and surname=?");
sql.setString("Alan");
sql.setString("Ford");
Person p = Ammentos.loadUnique(sql);

Here’s below the new, single statement syntax:

    Person p = Ammentos.loadUnique(Person.class, new SqlQueryFilter("name=? and surname=?")
.setString("Alan").setString("Ford"));

This is possible because now any setXXX() method returns the SqlQueryFilter itself, similarly

to Java’s StringBuffer class.

A simple but nice and, mostly important, KISS idea. Thanks to Florin for his suggestion
