    以上方法中的以下代码段
    for (int i = 0; i < sqlStatement.fragments.length; i++) {

	
	    if (sqlStatement.fragments[i].variableOccurrence) {
		while (totalParameterValueNb > 0 && totalParameterValueNb >= sqlStatement.fragments[i].parameterNumber) {
		    buffer.append(sqlStatement.fragments[i].text);
		    totalParameterValueNb -= sqlStatement.fragments[i].parameterNumber;
		}
	    } else {
		buffer.append(sqlStatement.fragments[i].text);
		totalParameterValueNb -= sqlStatement.fragments[i].parameterNumber;
	    }
	}
	
	去掉while 循环语句功能会发生变化吗？
	在SQL的.xml配置文件中每个sqlfragment标记中的VARIABLE的含义是什么（如下）？
	<SQLStatement method="SEARCH_ITEMS">
            <SQLFragment parameterNb="4">
                select catid, a.productid, name, a.itemid, b.image, b.descn, attr1, 
                        attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, listprice, unitcost 
                    from (((item a join item_details b on a.itemid=b.itemid)
                        join product_details c on a.productid=c.productid)
                        join product d on d.productid=c.productid and b.locale = c.locale)
                    where b.locale = ? and ((lower(name) like ? or lower(catid) like ? or lower(b.descn) like ?)
            </SQLFragment>
            <SQLFragment parameterNb="3" occurrence="VARIABLE">
                or (lower(name) like ? or lower(catid) like ? or lower(b.descn) like ?)  
            </SQLFragment>
            <SQLFragment parameterNb="0">
                )
            </SQLFragment>
        </SQLStatement>
	十分感谢！
