in Cupertino was it to remove EOF from Cocoa and make it only a WebObjects

application space, which is really a shame. <sigh>. The things I could do
with Cocoa an EOF...


Actually, there are two clarifications to be made here..

I think you're referring to an Objective-C based version of EOF... I don't want to have to re-write all the logic from my apps and then have to support two different languages in the same app. I find it LAUGHABLE that the 'bridge' isn't good enough for WOF apps to use, and yet it is for desktop apps. And that 4.5.1 can't even use any bridge.

Secondly, I think Apple has it's head SOOO far up the 'Enterprise' butt with respect to EOF (that is, swallow the Java line completely) that they're forgetting that there is a HUGE potential for it in the small application market.

The ENTERPRISE in Enterprise Objects Framework shouldn't be the concentration.. rather that it is capable of so much more than that.

There are folks who say that 'now that it is pure Java, we get all the JDBC databases!'.. that doesn't mean much to most users.. Oracle/Sybase are WAY out of the SOHO league.

Ah well.. what do I know.
