I've seen that document as well, but I noticed the date on it was
the latter half of 2005. I read all of the documentation Apple had
regarding WebObjects back in 2000, and I even managed to get my
hands on the training manuals for the courses they used to offer on
WebObjects, and I don't ever recall seeing anything like that in
any of the material. Of course, that is not to say it wasn't
there. I wasn't specifically looking for it, so it's easy for me
to imagine myself zipping over those short paragraphs without them
making a big enough impression for me to remember. It is entirely
possible that something like this was available from Apple very
early on and I missed it.
I noticed you mentioned the 2005 update in your first post, so just
to be a pedantic jerk, I checked into this :) Jerry has referenced
that paragraph as early as 2004, prior to the 2004-12-02 update
listed in that document's revision history, which puts it in there in
2004. The next earlier revision listed is 2003, but it's labeled
"First version of Enterprise Objects," which is sort of a sketchy
title, but I think it's referring to the first version of this
document, not the first version of EOF which obviously predates 2003
pretty significantly.
But this is all a silly discussion. I do agree that EOF is really
bad about letting you know when you screw up. I MUCH prefer fail-fast
than fail-sometime-in-the-future-really-confusingly, and EOF is all
about fail-sometime-in-the-future. And while that comment IS
documented, it really doesn't get the notation that it deserves.
Maybe they can bold that sentence in the 2007 documentation revision :)
It's totally pointless anyway (except for that warm, happy feeling
it gives me) ;)
I don't believe this is true ... I think bitching is heard, if not
directly, by proxy.
