[PRODUCT] ORM + RDBMS = OODBMS / Evaluation Against Fictive jamStore

2004-12-22 Thread Ilias Lazaridis
To simplify the evaluation of ORM tools, I've documented a fictive one:
http://lazaridis.com/case/orm/index.html
Which of the described constructs are supported within the OJB 
product/project?

Right. Hmm, lets see: OJB is a Java library / O/R mapping framework, 
so what you need to know *in advance* in order to use it would be 
Java. Likewise, OJB uses Ant for building, so you also need at least 
a little bit of knowledge about Ant, e.g. how to install Ant, how to 
invoke it.
This is only true, if the ojb-developers fail to encapsulate the 
domain knowledge.
No, OJB helps you with some of the technical knowledge (i.e. databases) 
but not with domain knowledge (e.g. finance, e-shop ...). And OJB does 
not away with all technical knowledge. You're still required to be able 
to program in Java, use Ant etc. (as I've already written).
Context of my statement (as the context of this thread):
the quickstart application (ojb-blank, with e.g. tutorial1 within)
This should be runable withount _any_ domain-knowledge (except: 
Operating System Basics).

If a team did not achieve that, then I name it: failure.
If you're not willing to get this knowledge, then you're right, then 
we as the developers have difficulties to provide you the 'solution' 
because we cannot and will not teach you Java or Ant, you will have 
to do this yourself if you want to get anywhere in the Java world (as 
with any other computer language or environment).
We are talking about a "run" and a "deploy" abstraction.
Which you have finally created, but not posted to the threads where 
i've asked for it.
In case you forgot: Jakob created this run 'abstraction' for you days 
ago, but you kept demanding something better or other. 
I did not forget.
This was not for obj-blank, but for something without sources (the 
result of the ojb-quickstart target).

[again: my context is ojb-blank with the tutorial1 sources]
All I did was 
make the generation of these run.bat and run.sh files automatic within 
ojb-blank, as you could have known when you had actually read my mail 
and would have bothered to check out the changes (btw, the dev-mailing 
archive is easily accessible from the OJB homepage, all info about the 
change are there). So please stop this accusing.
You are accusing.
Me, that I am accusing.
Which is false.
again i remind you the context: addition/change to ojb-blank
And please, 'requesting' stuff won't get you anywhere because it is 
rude. 
"Requesting" is not rude.
RFC = Request For Comments.

I'm afraid you're confusing "requesting" with "demanding".
"Requesting": means in German: Bitten, Anfragen.
Thanks, but I know the difference. Rather, I think you mistake demanding 
for requesting, judging from the tone in your mails.
So, you don't want to apologize for saying to me that i behave "rude" 
based on an faulty interpretation of yours?

I see.
You should be polite (as everybody else on this list is), and read 
the docs (because that is what there are for) and ask for help if 
you're stuck. And if you can provide input or corrections or 
improvements, all the better, as we're more than willing to 
incorporate them into OJB.
I don't think that the people on this list (especially you) are very 
polite.

Otherwise you would not hide changes, which were initiated by an 
individual (me) behind necessary domain-knowledge (CVS acess).

You wrote this large message here, but you've still not posted the 
corrections to the list, thus the thread becomes usable in the 
archives (and i get my solution).

Btw, as I said I don't think that a quickstart won't get you 
anywhere, because it only shows that OJB works, but not how. That is 
what the getting-started doc and the ojb-blank is for. If you think 
that you can enhance the doc, great, go ahead and post whatever you 
have to this list.
As said again: I depend on a minimum assistance from the developers.
But it seems that stubberness and egoism rules in this project.
And we are unpolite? 
Yes.
But i've cooled down now.
Come on, in every answer that you've got to your 
not exactly polite mails, you've got constructive and polite help from 
users and developers of OJB, and you still keep on insulting people 
although you cannot base your accusations with any facts ? 
I do not insult people.
And I have stated facts.
I you like, stop ignoring them.
(and from 
what I gather from another mail in this thread, this is not the first 
time that this has happened ?)
You have enouth material within this group.
No one hides anything here (remember that this is an open source project 
?), but rather you seem to refuse to use the help that you've been given 
already. How are we supposed to help, then ?
I do not refuse any help.
I refuse help which is given in a false context, simply as it has no 
relevance to me.

I just request specific help, within a specific context, within a 
specific medium.

On the contrary, you should try to get *as much* domain knowledge as you

This is all basic stuff that you should be familiar with for about, I 
guess, 90-100% of the open-source Java stuff for developers out there. 
And there is no point in asking about Java or Ant on this mailing list, 
there are other well-known places for this (see http:://www.java.net and 
http://java.sun.com and http://ant.apache.org).
So, why the OJB-team has not asked there, when I raised the question 
about _ojb's_ ant scripts.

At one point, i've asked the list: "should i ask on the ant list"?
If you're not willing to get this knowledge, then you're right, then we

You have modified it?

Because it is only in CVS and will be in the upcoming 1.0.2. 
I've asked for a modified "run" and "deploy" to start the tutorials in 
another thread.

A team member suggested me to wait for your results.
Thus, I expected of course a notification on this forum.
But the  developer list contains a notification.
I am a user - and as such I monitor only the user forum.
How can I obtain the new version without CVS access?
I would like to start my intro apps.
You have to get it from CVS or wait for the 1.0.2.
I think the team should post the relevant files within the relevant 
threads (this way, the mail-archives value is increased, too).

But why would you need a quickstart anyway ? 
To learn and use OJB quickly, and to enable other people to learn and 
use it quickly, thus its userbase increases, thus its evolution is 
faster, thus its usability for me becomes better:

[SUGGESTION] - S01 - Website.MainPage & QuickStarts
http://www.mail-archive.com/ojb-user%40db.apache.org/msg11948.html
OJB is a system for developers not endusers, 
I am currently an enduser of OJB.
I'm not interested in developing OJB itself, but in using OJB.
I like to do this, without loosing much time and energy to get it running.
and all that the quickstart shows is that it 
works, nothing more. I think , the ojb-blank is much more interesting to 
you as it is a blueprint for an OJB project.
The ojb-blank that i've download is not convenient - and i've lost many 
time with it.

Other people have lost time, too:

I suggest you to do what you can do best: developing on the OJB core.
And I will take care of the "Convenience Challenge".

But I depend (at least a little bit) on the teams assistance.
Please let me know if I can expect some minutes of the teams time, thus

First step you should do, to do what you want, is learn Java (not only

You cannot start commandline applications (that want input from console)

My suggestions are very fair, even within the context of open source, 
which has become high competitive.

Every involved parties (Team, Contributors, Users) should be 
interested to increase the user-base of OJB.

Questions like "Recommended ObjectCache for ODMG" should be served 
immediately with a link, even if this question was raised several times.

So, creating an FAQ, where every (even non experienced) community 
member can point the 'lazy' newcomers to the relevant subsection, 
should be a major goal.

I've started another task within this project: creating a quick-start 
and a new main-page (which will most possibly increase the 
newcomer-adoption rate).

It's up to the existing community, to treat newcomers in a way that they 
stay with OJB.

Newcomers, which have invested time to come in contact with the product 
(and the community).

It is not very gentle, to let requests unanswered [at least the simple 
ones].

jar.mainClass=org.apache.ojb.tutorial1.Application
and finally this one into the build.xml :






-
Error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/ojb/broker/PersistenceBrokerFactory
at org.apache.ojb.tutorial1.Application.(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.ojb.tutorial1.Application.main(Unknown Source)
...

-
I cannto go at this moment deeper into Ant and into this issue, as I'm 
risking to get "trapped".

Can anyone please tell me, what is wrong?

This is a common behaviour within forums.
To distinguish a project:
  - care about newcomers
  - accept their laziness/confusion, point them to the relevant resource
- hopefully they remember this in future.
  - and act the same against new newcomers.
A few answers can keep a newcomer within the project.
Increased userbase.

Thank you for the link.
The current ojb-tutorials should be corrected, to produce a launchable 
jar-file.

Yes, sort of. You've got to check out OJB for a particular date or use 
one of the earlier versions (there is a link in the download area) and 
build the documentation new ("ant docs").
The website is not available within the CVS directly?
Thus I can point to the websites mainpage?

[SUGGESTION] - S01 - Website.MainPage & QuickStarts

2004-11-15 Thread Ilias Lazaridis
[please, if you like to comment on this, write inline within the contex]
-
The below document is a draft-version proposal for the main-page of the 
OJB website.

It focuses on two points:
  - getting visitors to try it!
  - pointing out OJB's major top-level strenghts!
The suggested quick-starts would allow:
  - newcomers : to use OJB to quickly explore real JAVA OOAD
in conjunction with IDE's like NetBeans.
  - evaluators: to check OJB quickly without affection
of the running developement system
I can create those quick-start-projects. Assistance from OJB-team 
needed: mostly a few answers to questions which I raise during the 
creation process [within the user list].

The main goal is to make the tutorials modular (stepwise increase of 
complexity), transparent (newcomer-safe, e.g. no domain-knowledge 
necessary) and efficient (quick introduction).

[A question: is it possible to retrieve older versions of the OJB 
website, e.g. to track changes?]

-
OJB
ObJectRelationalBridge - Scalable Transparent Persistence for Java Objects
OJB is easy:
  - Don't read documentations - start with trying it:
  - The OJB team cares about your time
- 5 min: download 
  - self-contained: everything needed within one folder
- no affection on current development system
  - evaluate OJB without risk
  - run the samples and explore its sources
- netbeans 4.0 project included
- eclipse 3.0 project included
- 10min: create your first real application
  - define a java class
  - declare it as persistent
  - build *everything*, including database, with a single command
- within your IDE
- or from the command line
  - run your first application
- create, retrieve, update, erase objects
- 20min: extend your first app with relations (1:1, n:1, 1:n, m:n)
  - explore real OOAD with JAVA & OJB
  - stepwise define 4 more java classes
  - attach them to the first class
  - explore incremental design capabilities of OJB
- watch OJB's schema update mechanisms do the work for you
- 10min: migrate you first app to another database (MySQL)
  - watch OJB's schema migration mechanisms work for you
OJB is pure:
  - pure java
  - enables pure OOAD
OJB is scalable:
  - use it withing embedded applications
  - up to enterprise scale distributed applications
OJB is powerfull:
  - fine-tune your application, with high detail grade of control
  - field proven Cache & distributed systems
OJB is flexible in RDBMS
  - HSQL (already bundled), MySQL, ...
OJB is flexible in API's [does not bind you to proprietary technology]:
- full ODMG 3.0 compliant API
  - later migration to ODMG driven OODBMS systems is possible
- full ODMG 3.0 standard OQL (Object Query Language)
  - later migration to major OODBMS systems, without change of OQL code
  - ODMG available for other OO languages, too (e.g. C++)
- allows design of highly speed-critical code with C++/ASM bridge
  - [disclosure: ]
- full JDO 1.0 compliant API
  - later migration to JDO (RDBMS/OODBMS) systems is possible
  - based on JDO Reference Implementation
- highest compatibility
  - [disclosure: performancy penalty of ~XX%, see performance notes]
  - native implementations sheduled for OJB 2.0
- an OTM API (ODMG / JDO common functionality)
  - if you are still undecided which one to use
- a low-level OJB API (PersistenceBroker)
  - all other api's are based on this
  - allows definition of your in-house API's
- e.g. when creating specific Frameworks.

I really think your quick-start application needs to be updated a 
little, thus it is easier for newcomers to understand.

I can assist you to make a netbeans 4.0 project and a very compact 
document, which will be usable for total newcomers.

Many documentation, many manual steps.
Actually there are only few steps.

Most of the getting started doc just 
explains what the files mean and what settings there are. 
I see.
And IMO its 
better to be detailed (and explicit) than to be overly short. 
You are of course right.
But the user should decide about the detail increase.
Solution: hierarchical document, which is compact, with links to more

hibernate has a sample appication:
