No really an ease example...
but for a (bit "downdated") tutorial you can take a look to:
http://wodev.spearway.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/WODev.woa/wa/Main?
wikiPage=CocoaEOApplication
I'm interested in CEO and read the article. One thing I found very
interesting:
"Even though the technology is not yet supported by Apple, it had been
around since NeXT was independent."
Does the "yet" in the article mean something like: it will/should
be...
Because as I saw it, JavaBridge is a "legacy" tech according to Apple,
and we have CoreData now. So, I keep CEO as an option, but as it is
not
supported and JB being just a legacy, I didn't get my hopes up.
I am not sure, of course, but what I think is that Core Data will
support other kinds of persistence; in particular, I think that it is
just a mater of time to Core Data to support RDB via some kind of
adaptor... may be Oracle or Sybase are already working in one.
So, EOF will be part of Cocoa, but with other name and in Objective-
C. If you noticed, Cocoa+Bindings works like EOInterface, Core Data
like EOControl (+ EOModel and 3 adaptors) and Xcode 2 now
incorporates a kind of EOModeler; we only need now to complete the
EOAccess layer... if they have two fingers on top of their eyes, they
should be working on that by now.
If your CEO app is well designed (uses MVC correctly) it should be
VERY ease to incorporate such technology by the time it comes out.
With this approach in door, I do not think that Apple will officially
support CEO... they had not since, in WO 5.0 many years ago, they
decided to go "pure Java"; it is hard to think that they will change
this policy unless in the very short, or the very long, term. Any
how, supported or not, it is still the best approach these days to
build Client/Server apps.
On the other hand, if they plan to keep around WO on OSX ---which I
think they do--- they need to keep the Java Bridge in order to
connect EOModeler with the DB; so, I do not see any reason to
disappear CEO.

Anybody has any other info on it?
