This is very true. Alternatives to WebObjects abound. No reason to get all nostalgic about the good old days.


Regarding the so called "expectations"... personally... in my wildest recurrent dreams... I was naively getting aroused by simple things... nothing grand or glamourous... for example... NSArray implementing the humble java.util.List interface... or even NSDictionary integrating with the rest of the known Java universe by politely providing a java.util.Map interface... but no... nothing that outlandish in sight... oh, well... so much for transparently integrating WOF/EOF with third party Java libraries...

On the other hand, I guess I must be the only one not fully enjoying translating such basic constructs back end forth between the Java world and The Relic of Things Past.

Ironically enough, the same mismatch seems to apply to the entire, er, "WebObjects experience": don't like xCode? Use Eclipse! Don't like WOBuilder? Do it by hand! Don't like EOModeler? Use TextEdit! Don't like WOMonitor? Use servlets! What's left? The peculiarisms of the WOF and EOF frameworks themselves which awkwardly don't even support basic Java idioms. Swell! :o)

Anyhow, as Mike mentioned, bashing this sorry state of affair has become an entertaining, but useless annual tradition. Like Webobjects itself perhaps.

Cheers,

PA. Tout le monde il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil.
