Thanks, Erik, that did help. I got Torque to build, but the build-test failed. I may have to go back and be sure I have the right versions of all the JARs. It wanted a later version of Village for example, along with some others that I didn't have handy.

Thanks, Martin. Personally, I would say its not so much a documentation issue, as a big-picture example issue. I've read the documention, and it looks like all the pieces are are there, but I can't see the forest for the trees. Something I find helpful is to walk-through an application. One

Ted, I may or may not look at Torque, Peers, etc. I'm not interested in re-inventing the wheel, but really, I'm looking to have (in other words, build) a persistence framework that takes up 3-5 classes at most, and will likely be built using the new DynaBean. Experimental, yes, but darnit, it's

Re: Jakarta Persistence Framework?

2001-12-31 Thread Ted Husted
Something that I've been playing with that would probably work well with the DynaBean is the ModelBean package that Vincent mentioned. This really isn't a persistence framework at all, but simply an organized way to quickly move a ResultSet into a collection of beans. It uses reflection to do

I'm very interested in such a thing. I'm in much of a similar position and would like to try and submit design ideas into it. My biggest problem with Struts was that coders kept passing Form objects down to the EJBs, thus tying the EJBs to Struts. So my design there used a generic Namespace

I see where you're going with that... If I understand you correctly, your framework is simpler than mine even -- a pretty thin layer over JDBC, whereby all table access is via generic functions to open a table (or maybe a query?) and iterate through it's raw rows. My framework is closer to EJB

I had started on auto-generating classes based on a database table as a proof of concept, but I haven't worked on it anymore since I found out it about Torque, Castor, etc. I liked the idea of keeping things very simple and generating jdbc code that you would have written yourself so it would be
