Noel -- I agree 99% with your assessment -- and it is certainly applicable to more than just the News module.
IMO, the winning formula is to use XSLT templates to transform XML, with the .xsl --- and all other species of .xml --- to be derived dynamically when appropriate, but in general to be stored literally within CLOBs within pure-CMP xdoclet-coded Entities (which in turn sit on top of invisible JBoss O/R mapping, which in turn sits on top of completely-invisible SQL/RDBMS). So the 1% that I differ with you on is simply this: our thinking will be much clearer once we stop talking about "tables" ..... "tables" are at least 2 levels of abstraction lower than where we ought to be thinking. -- Howard View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3830622#3830622 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3830622 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
