Pardon me, but could anybody tell me where the /real/ documentation is? I
don't count the stuff in the doc subdirectory, since it only seems to be of
use in one of two cases: you're browsing for an approach ("yeah, we do
jdo!") and aren't interested in the details, or you already know how to use
Castor and you're only interested in the details of the API. I'm stuck
somewhere in the middle.
I'm interested in the JDO aspect, and among the stuff that the documentation
doesn't *seem* to tell me is:
* Does Castor generate Java code for classes directly from the mapping.xml
file? If not, if it's only a way of serialising classes that you have to
write yourself, then I'm not interested and I won't bother you again.
* (Related) does the source code generator only generate code for
serialisation to XML? Or is that what you use for JDO too? Or do you do JDO
by going through XML as an intermediate step?
* What is the meaning of the various elements and attributes in the mappings
dtd?
Ideally, what I'd like is a step-by-step tutorial to writing the
database.xml, writing the mappings.xml, creating the classes (if that's what
you do), and programming with the result. I'm quite prepared to write one if
there isn't one already, if only people can point me to the requisite
information or supply it here. The stuff that's available under the "JDO"
section of the website really isn't adequate.
