Re: Nested Editing Contexts

I've seen that document as well, but I noticed the date on it was the latter half of 2005. I read all of the documentation Apple had regarding WebObjects back in 2000, and I even managed to get my hands on the training manuals for the courses they used to offer on WebObjects, and I don't ever recall seeing anything like that in any of the material. Of course, that is not to say it wasn't there. I wasn't specifically looking for it, so it's easy for me to imagine myself zipping over those short paragraphs without them making a big enough impression for me to remember. It is entirely possible that something like this was available from Apple very early on and I missed it.
I noticed you mentioned the 2005 update in your first post, so just to be a pedantic jerk, I checked into this :) Jerry has referenced that paragraph as early as 2004, prior to the 2004-12-02 update listed in that document's revision history, which puts it in there in 2004. The next earlier revision listed is 2003, but it's labeled "First version of Enterprise Objects," which is sort of a sketchy title, but I think it's referring to the first version of this document, not the first version of EOF which obviously predates 2003 pretty significantly.

But this is all a silly discussion. I do agree that EOF is really bad about letting you know when you screw up. I MUCH prefer fail-fast than fail-sometime-in-the-future-really-confusingly, and EOF is all about fail-sometime-in-the-future. And while that comment IS documented, it really doesn't get the notation that it deserves. Maybe they can bold that sentence in the 2007 documentation revision :)

It's totally pointless anyway (except for that warm, happy feeling it gives me) ;)
I don't believe this is true ... I think bitching is heard, if not directly, by proxy.
