| Greetings all, I have to agree with Mike. There is a lot of good to be had in the Cayenne project, and the discuss there of. For starters, it identifies the need in our community for the stability of a good ORM that is well defined and stable, connected to a good web object generating framework, and if possible connecting today's customers. WebObjects, EOF and CoreData have that advantage for the Apple side of the house, and even the Android camp can consume a WebObjects app.
There was a reason I suggested using a standards body for accomplish the feat of having an Open Source ORM, be it Cayenne, EOF, or something else. The concept is that it would be stable like a rock, and public there by enable any one to use it. Standards take time to form, but in the process there are projects like Cayenne, and prototypes using WO/EOF to demonstrate the concepts what we think an ORM should be. EOF is the de facto ORM by its age, but it could easily be supplanted by derived versions found in Ruby, Python, and other languages. My dissertation gave EOF a good head start by putting on the map in the academic community, and I am about to publish it.
The Cayenne project is not the only project that I have up for consideration by the Open Grid Forum that is of interest to the WO community. The Zion project is also significant aspect, too. If I could have some community backing both, that would be fabulous. If Apple would like to help that would be nice too, assuming they read these things. Since Zion is a WO/ Mac/ iOS hybrid all together thing, I would hope they would see the wisdom and value in the product. The Zion project itself is a Texas Tech project that is the fruit of my dissertation, and I hope that I will see it to market and success some way (Just a dream).
