ironbird: You're right. And I do apologize for coming off as condescening.
Believe me, though, it has nothing to do with his being a newbie. I am normally very supportive of people learning something new. His tone was condescending, so I felt he needed to hear himself in context. There's a difference between someone that is new, and someone that just learned something in a class and think they know it all and can log onto a forum to insult everyone that think exactly like he thinks. I figured a gentle correction on a JBoss forum was a better place for him to learn than on a job. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to do that without coming off as condescending. I would have probably dismissed what he said outright, if it wasn't for his display of lack of ettiquette: - "your ER model sucks" - "because in this kind of usage your Entity design simply lacks" - "dont blame the J2EE for not resolving bad RDBMS design" This is in addition to outright illogical statements he made, his assumption that he's completely right without even understanding the problem, his inability to listen to why I chose certain options, like avoiding dynamic SQL or direct JDBC, and the lack of inquiry into the actual table design and purpose. By the way, the table which he thinks needs to be normalized with views only consists of a primary key (generated sequence number), a composite business key, and a single column for data. It's ok if his logic is incomplete, but he should try not to condescendingly insult people when he displays his lack of understanding of other people's problems.
