hi mike
i'm gonna get a chance to play with it next week.
i have to say it's so obvious that i can't believe it's not in the
standard webobjects package.
that said it was probably not straight forward to implement and java
doesn't really lend itself to this kind of thing.
i only mentioned aop because i know it supports a notion similar to
categories, somewhat more powerful but that's all that's really needed.
AspectJ now seems to be an eclipse project http://www.eclipse.org/
aspectj/ so i have to get my projects moved to WOLips first because i
ain't going through the pain of getting aop working with vexcode
(that's chuck's © if i remember correctly).
as soon as i get anywhere i'll chime in.
many regards, thx and stay valiant!

I was thinking that ERExtensions might have the "main" set of
helpers for the base types (String, NSTimestamp, primitives, etc),
which you could extend in your own apps. Alternatively, WOOGNL
could depend on ERX (it doesn't now) and we can put the main
helpers in there. The OGNL option organizationally makes a little
more sense, I think.
I've not really done anything with AOP, so I'm open for suggestions/
recommendations here. Every time I've looked at AOP it sort of
looked insane and I scurried away :)
The auto-increasing id helper is a bit of a funky case. You're not
really "formatting" anything in that case -- you're generating (if
i understand you correctly). You could probably trick it into
working, but I can't think of a "natural" way to do it with the
current syntax.
This is all pretty new (we've only been using it here for about a
week), so let me know if you have suggestions for it.
