Of course, Apple may announce the resurrection of Objective-C EOF at WWDC, so I'm not writing any code for now.

Well, I'm not expecting something super-simple, but have no idea (yet) of the scope of such an implementation. The basic idea would be to pick up the ball that Apple dropped (Objective-C EOF). I've been talking to a few people around here (who may even be willing to help -- one guy has already been writing his own lightweight persistence layer) and the idea sounds appealing, but I'm going to need to work with the ROP stuff more to have a feel for what needs to be done (debuggers are your friend). I did look at cayenne-client and it seemed a bit bigger than I was expecting, but I probably wouldn't need everything at first, just the bare essentials to prove the concept. Thanks! I'll ponder some more. :-) /dev/mrg -----Original Message----- From: Andrus Adamchik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 10:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Alternative ROP? Michael, I hope I did not exaggerated the simplicity of a potential port :-) Here is the thread were this was discussed: http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-user/2006/07/0009.html Also another discussion that we had in the context of rop-wsdl Summer of Code project can be found here: http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-devel/2006/07/0018.html This may sidetrack you though, as we were pondering possible alternatives to the existing stack.
