Can we get back to Flex development? This isn’t EJBCoders, PojoCoders, or
HibernateCoders, its FlexCoders. Ted :) From: "Frank please read Dave's post about EJB. And please
lets give proper names to the things. EJB and CMP will never more be the most
popular persistence technology. " I didn't want to mention alternatives like Toplink and
Hibernate in an effort to keep the thread concise. It is honest to say
that for persistence frameworks EJB with CMP is the market leader since it is
an ubiqitous technology; it appears in every J2EE compliant container.
That does not necessarily mean it is being used by everyone. Hibernate is
the best product out there, but it's penetration as a 3rd party tool just can't
compete with a technology that is embedded into platforms. So in saying that as a alternative to EJB with CMP,
Hibernate is the current de-facto standard for persistence in the Java
developer and architecture community. Hibernate is
currently the closest product to a reference implementation of the EJB 3.0/JSR-220 persistence standardization effort. Currently
two Hibernate employees even sit on the International voting panel for this JSR
effort! How you ca dismiss this new standard with such disdai n is beyond
me. Sure, Hibernate can be
used without the new EJB3 persistence APIs, and yes, it is still more powerful
than current market alternatives without it, but having said that, most
developers love Hibernate since it persists most JavaBeans with no code changes
to the existing beans. Great for migrations. I don't really
understand these evangalistic arguments anyways. Tell me what
happens to Hibernate when every java container provider includes
their own standardized version of it? Touting a technology as dead
or alive reveals an inflexibility that may not be in your development efforts
best interests, both of you guys should know better, how many deprecated
APIs have you had to thrown away over the years? Yet the root of
those APIs continue to adapt and become what they where
originally intentioned. Anyone remember the JDBC type 1 then 2, then 3
drivers before type 4's got it right? Did you dump JDBC as well? Things change, I suggest you read the new
JSR and tell me yo Sincerely, Frank Krul
