PDO is Portable Distributed Objects, another technology inherited from
NextStep.
<begin irrelevant rant>
Part of my current job is maintaining a WO 4.5 multi-instance java
application that talks to database through a server written in WO 4.5
objC with PDO. What makes it hell is a) that not all of the
functionality of PDO works across the bridge, b) exceptions and stack
traces usually get lost across the bridge, making it difficult to figure
out where the app is crashing, and c) the bridge has some flakiness when
you're using java from ObjC where it will sometimes clobber the stack.
Also, for example, adding a function to a bridged java class with the
signature myFunction (WOApplication anApp) makes that class unusable
across the bridge -- even if the function is empty and never called.
Have never taken the time to figure out why; that kind of low-level
mucking around holds little interest for me.
Of course on top of all that the sucker is deployed by a hugely
over-complicated build system originally invented to deploy apps to
machines in a "clean-room" environment, that takes close to an hour to
run.
Sigh.
Slowly we're rebuilding this thing in pure java, but in the meantime --
hell.
