Definetly there is a bit of funkyness to using features in castor. Writing a feature list that shows up to date representations is a start but can only do so much.
I think some steps in this direction could really help reduce the redundancy of the types of queries that this list is pinged with. People new to castor would be very grateful. -Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Michael Colbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 5:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Adding new dependent objects to an exiting persistent object Would it be possible to get someone from the JDO team to assist in creating a status sheet on all the different JDO features (caching, extends, depends, long transactions, lazy loading, etc.) and their respective implementation status? I believe this would be helpful to all, since due to the high learning curve associated with figuring out proper castor JDO usage (esp. the mapping), it's incredibly difficult to tell whether or not problems like this are due to improper usage, or "not quite done" features. I am predicting that Bruce Snyder will have absolutely no reply to Ryan McDonough's question here, other than "This one time at band camp ... please send your client code and mapping." On the other hand, if Ryan had a place to quickly and painlessly look up the status of a particular feature (in this case, dependent objects), he may never resort to such "probing" questions. (I assume he is probing, trying to quickly find out if this is a well-known issue, because otherwise he would have sent all his code.) The mailing list archive is not entirely helpful in this regard, nor is the bugzilla database. What I have in mind is a one page list of all the major features and their status ("not implemented", "partially implemented", "mostly implemented", "fully implemented and tested", etc. along with helpful footnotes along the lines of "works while caching is turned off"). If there is some way to find this information, quickly, please advise. If not, I hereby volunteer to collect and publish in one place all authoritative responses to this request as to the status of the JDO features present and future.
