I'd prefer not to [cover EJB/CMP] for a few reasons:
1) While I know that it is a kind of O/R it is not the kind I am
interested in at the moment
What kind are you interested in?
Well, I personally have some issues with EJB ;-). If I saw a good
presentation on it maybe I'd change my mind. But I have problems with
any framework that requires me to create multiple files just in order
to get some data from a database as an object. Make it easy for me to
do it and I might be interested. But I also like a light-weight
approach in regards to containers - I know servlets and I know servlet
containers, I don't want to have to learn how to configure JBoss just
to use EJB's.
2) It isn't standalone - it requires an EJB container
Point taken, but every framework requires something be it build tools
or
classes to install in your app. In the case of Resin CMP we only use
the
"O/R" mapping part--hardly anything else.
See above.
3) I don't have an intimate knowledge of EJB
Would anyone like to volunteer instead? Rick Hightower?
I would gladly develop the framework and have others contribute pieces
to it.
4) EJB can be an hour long all on it's own
Of course. Surely the subtleties of any of these frameworks would
merit an
hour at least. The idea would be to cover it side by side with the
other
persistence frameworks *as a persistence framework* and focus on how
it can
be used as such and how it stacks up against the others.
Sounds good.
