Cool, man. I know enough now to produce a video tutorial on working with entities in the tomcat-embedded container. That's on the slate for this weekend. It's my last week at this job, so there'll be some moving-of-my-office taking place over the weekend as well.
What I'd like to do is have a tutorial tree that's sort of like a choose-your-own-adventure book, so you can start working on an example in Tomcat, then learn how to deploy it in an HSQLDB, then make the change to MySQL, then get tired of the back-and-forth and bring it all back to unit tests, or skip the middle and go straight from development to in-memory testing. On the testing best practices front, I wrote a generified CRUD test setup over the weekend for my CORM project that I think would serve as a fantastic example of how to do painless CRUD testing and verify a big portion of your annotations. I'm still trying to isolate the patterns for my cascade tests, so progress is slower with a greater amount of code on that front. One thing I'm keen on doing is moving past the mailing lists and becoming more active in contributing content to the Confluence and JIRA. I want to maintain a tree of code examples that get more complex and specific as you go deeper into the example tree, including at some point how to do advanced stuff like persisting generic fields and generic container-valued references using the OpenJPA-specific examples. We might color-code these examples in the documentation wiki to indicate which examples are fully spec-compliant and which are not compliant, but apache community specific, and possibly open the door for proprietary non-apache examples using OpenEJB and third party apps. Well, the daily grind calls. -- Alex On Jan 14, 2008 4:07 PM, David Blevins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was a little late on the board report so it's already been > submitted, but here it is if you'd like to look it over: > > http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENEJB/January2008 > > -David > >
