Very concisely explained. Thank you. Time for me to stop the comparison's with Java, and learn the Cake/PHP way.
I'd held off learning PHP in anger until the introduction of better OO support in PHP5. Clearly it helps encapsulate logic and re-use and prevents spaghetti code (scripting). I'd naturally assumed that OO concepts would get taken to the domain-object level, but as you say, this is potentially a needless overhead. Apologies if I sounded derogatory. It's my British sense of humour, I guess. Nothing more. (That, and the desire for my question to gain attention). I didn't go so far as to state that Cake is half-baked; merely asked the question. As you said yourself, it's not typical ORM. I doubt I'll be the last Java developer to venture down the Cake path, and ask similar questions. Thanks again. time for me to fatten up my models! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
