ok, I am confused on what is happening to the Datbase.js file. but instead
of a request for the long explanation, I will settle for a quick yes or no.
I am a java newbie... so bear with me...
>From the petstore:
// temporary hack to avoid requiring datasource config in
cocoon.xconf
java.lang.Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
var jdbc = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:.",
"sa", "")
var conn = new Database(jdbc);
if (this.hsql == null) {
// keep hsql in-memory database alive
this.hsql =
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:.", "sa", "");
}
return conn;
} else {
// lookup datasource in cocoon.xconf
return Database.getConnection(id);
}
Is what has been talked about here on the list mean the "Best Practice" way
to get a database connection in flow is the way that is commented here as a
"temporary hack" ie. use java.lang.whatever and code as if we were writing
the app in pure java?
Is there a wiki somewhere on this type of thing? (I have been building apps
in PHP and PERL for a few years, and its gets frustrating KNOWING way better
tools are RIGHT HERE in front of me :)
Sorry if this is a pain in the *** question, bu tthe idea of flow has me
giddy. But I am stuck on the "cannot convert null to an object issue"
