Thomas Fischer commented on TORQUE-147:
---------------------------------------
I should have been more clear before. The idea was to replace inheritance by
implementing an interface. Intospection should really be the last option if
everything else fails (but it will not be needed here IMO. If it will turns out
it is needed, we need to discuss again)
As for the beans, while they rdo what they are supposed to do, it turns out
that in a real project you need to do a lot of convedrsion from Beans to
Databse objects and vice versa. Consider e.g. a classic 3-Tier application: A
database layer, a business layer and a presentation layer. The service layer
would use database objects internally but its external interfaces are beans.
This works well as long as a service does not call other services, (which is a
perfect sensible thing to do) because then the caller service must convert ts
internal object to beans, call the other service and convert the beans back to
database objects. It can be done (we have a production project using this
technique) but it is a pain.
There might be good reasons for bean objects, but using beans as business
objects is not a good thing to do in my opinion.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Thomas Fischer
> Assignee: Thomas Fischer
>
> Currently it is an error if database objects do not inherit from BaseObject.
> This makes embedding of Torque objects in other frameworks very difficult,
> because it does not allow to choose an own parent to inherit from.
> The minimum requirement would be that it is not required any more that
> database objects inherit from BaseObject.
> Ideally BaseObject dies and the base objects inherit directly from
> java.lang.object.
