Thanks for all the great, no wait, make that insanely great hints and advice. My sarcasm (arrogance?) came from reading the JBoss trail. On-and-on about how things are decoupled... sounds nice, then the switch to an example and the example shows: by default, things are coupled via a name... Kind of hilarious for intro documentation dontcha think? It's a bit either-or. Either make the point and follow through in the example, or don't kill the horse in the first place.
That said: Obj-C lives on! Hey we can finally write partial interfaces a la Obj-C delegation thanks to JDK 5 annotations. Only took what, 20 years plus a little nudge from Microsoft via .NET. Hey not bad. That's Obj-C in spirit. And there are at least 2-3 developers who actually write the UI for Apple - Obj-C being so efficient that's about all one needs to get the great features Mac OS gives casual, clueless users like me. Finally, thanks to the great team. It must be nice to have something like EJB 1/2 to compare oneself too. I mean, hey with that as a reference point how could you NOT look good? Right? OK, I've probably overreached. I love seeing the Hibernate/EJB3 crew getting hot under the collar -- like my post said (and therefore tried to disclaim) it was flame bait: I was annoyed by a bad example, not bad technology -- I'm actually a big Hibernate fan. It's first rate. And EJB3 is a heck of a lot better than what went before. Indeed some of it is even cool. It's just odd writing code in a language that due to the sad state of affairs known as C++, eschewed dynamism only to bring it back in steps (first reflection, then dynamic proxies and finally, finally, annotations) that are some bastard appendage on the language syntactically. But hey, it sorta works so I'll do the annotation thing and stop whining. Meow.
