I the FDS Hibernate Adaptor will be a hard sell to the Java community. Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is the latest programming buzzword, but it has come about because coders want to write plain old java objects (POJOs), and have a framework interject them where they are needed. This has proven very flexible...I am able to use the same POJOS within the Spring Framework, Hibernate, my JSPs or a swing app.
We're using Java 5. This means we can use Hibernate Annotations to define our ORM layer. After working with EJBs without EJBGen and then working with it, Annotations save so much time and headache, I won't use XML descriptor files. The problem with FDS hibernate adaptor is that if I want to use Annotations, I have to wait for Adobe to release a version that supports it. Another problem is that I am tying my persistance layer so closely to FDS, I can only use FDS to access it. What happens if there is some critical bug in Hibernate that needs to be fixed. I have to wait for Adobe to release it even though the Hibernate team has fixed it. If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. -JB --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Valy Sivec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My understanding is that with FDS at this moment you shouldn't write any DAO code and just the mapping files should suffice. On the other hand, are Hibernate features that I don't see how to implement them with the current Hibernate adapter; might be just me... > Anyway, I have chosen to use Java-JDO with Hibernate & Spring and feel more comfortable about fixing the bugs in the code I can open than having the bug in the Hibernate adapter. In addition to that historicaly speaking, I haven't seen any BUG fixes or patches to the Flex 1.5 and having the bugs fixed only via Flex Support seems to me a little bit odd. That makes me even more reluctant to adopt Hibernate Adapter. I hope that in the future Adobe will release the bug fixes in patches available for everybody. > > Thanks, > Valy > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Yep, just curious what functionality Hibernate adapter provides, > using of java-dao adapter should work fine with Hibernate-based applications > tho ;) > > Regards, > Alex > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Matt Chotin > Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 2:35 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: [flexcoders] FDS & Hibernate > > I don't know that I agree with your premise that open source is the only way > to understand a technology to adopt it, but agree that the documentation is > behind the implementations.
