Not true. For example, one of the conventions Rails uses to make things easier is their naming conventions, specifically, pluralization. You make your MySQL database tables plural, like comments. You then name your class Comment and it knows to look in the database for the table named comments. However, you don't have to use this. You can manually override this at the top of your class and point it to the proper table in your database. This is the kind of flexibility and power that come with a well thought out framework. I don't find XP Components to be a very pragmatic framework, and as such, it's not of much use to me. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
