Thanks Matthias....I'm glad you like the cartridge :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthias Bohlen Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 3:10 AM To: andromda-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Andromda-user] Praise for the Spring cartridge and its How-To
Hi all, this is a praise for Chad's Spring cartridge and Wouter's How-To - I really think that we now have a cartridge... * using the latest AndroMDA technology and development standards, * for one of the most interesting J2EE frameworks in the world, * documented by a how-to that easily brings the horse-power of the cartridge to the wheels :-) After some experience with the latest cartridge version, I cannot imagine to do a seriouos project using EJBs again - for sure! (People who know me personally also know that I do not make such statements every day). By the way: Recently, one of my favorite clients asked me: Should I use value objects or should I use the Hibernate POJOs on the client? After some work with the cartridge, I can say: * Use value objects if you want a strong separation between server and client tiers * Use value objects if you have to decouple two teams of people to develop the server side stuff and the client side stuff (still common in some organizations) * Prefer to use the POJOs directly on the client if both of these points do not apply. The reasoning behind this is: Using the POJOs on the client is so much easier that it outweighs the client-side impact of changes in the server side entity model, especially if both are developed by the same people. By the way: Chad, you nicely hid the existence of MyEntityImpl classes behind MyEntity.Factory, it's nice to write on the client Car myCar = Car.Factory.newInstance(); instead of Car myCar = new CarImpl(); Good job, folks!
