I'm not sure how this email thread went off the deep end from a
technical discussion to a personal discussion.
I think it's reasonable for one person to feel that a particular coding
paradigm is "ugly" or not, (I did notice Tom say "IMHO" when he talked
about dynamically creating the URL). I think one way of gauging whether
a particular solution is optimal is this general sense of "ugly" versus
"elegant".
Let's keep the discussion to arguing the merits of one solution over
another. I think we all want Derby to succeed, which means not only
having a good product but also a growing community of users and
contributors. Personal statements like "perhaps you should learn how to
code rather than configure" create discord and will tend to keep people
away from this project.

So, coding is now ugly?
No, it simply should not necessary in this case, configuration would
suffice. And I would have to code it whenever I want to have this
functionality, so I would have to come up with solutions for, say,
Spring, for EJB, for Hibernate, etc. etc. etc.
Perhaps you should learn how to code rather than configure?
Or am I now a dinosaur ;-)
Or perhaps you should learn to be a bit more polite ?
Tom
Polite?
Perhaps if you were more polite in your statement, you would get a more polite
response from me. ;-)
If you thought about it, you would only have to come up with one solution.
How would the solution be different in each of your "scenarios"? Java is Java.
At least at the core of it.
A good software engineer attemtps to understand the problem, its
constraints/boundries, and what tools are available.
But hey, what do I know? ;-)
I always thought that Hacking or Hacks were just a bunch of highly technical
practical jokes. ;-)
