Alex, In my experience, yes. Though it depends a lot on the project.
Some of the projects I have been on leverage a lot of structured data for building out pages and the process of building out the DAO/DTO layer gets rather tedious, especially when you have to retrieve multiple resources to retrieve the data required. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Klimetschek [mailto:aklim...@adobe.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2013 8:19 AM To: dev@sling.apache.org Subject: Re: Sling Dynamic Proxy On 29.03.2013, at 20:14, Dan Klco <dan.k...@sixdimensions.com> wrote: > @SlingProperty(name="jcr:created") > public Date getCreationDate(); Is this really worth the additional complexity compared to the following? public Date getCreationDate() { return properties.get("jcr:created", Date.class); } This is far more flexible in case you want to do more complex things for certain getters... Granted, you also need an adapter factory for that, but once that's set up, it's easy to add new adapters. Cheers, Alex ----- No virus found in this message.
