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.
