Aye, I'm reserving judgement. I expect that it'll be good for simple things, but have all sorts of subtle wrinkles that break it further down the line. Plus, many people will still be on earlier CF versions. > I love Reactor. I use it in all my applications. I think a lite version is > an excellent idea. I also really like Nathan's idea of a modular approach. I can't see the point, to be very honest. I'm open to someone convincing me however. > I think one of the critical missing pieces is fleshed out documentation. It > would be really great to have the level of documentation that Transfer has. This comes up all the time as you know, and the upshot is writing docs is hard (for programmers) and no one wants to do it. > I would also like to be able to integrate Reactor with Flex.

If you're talking about CRUD and Search, I've been tinkering with a generic Bean for ColdSpring that can expose these for any table Reactor knows about - for instance the search method takes a set of key/value (column/value) pairs and figures out the correct OO query based on the column type. Eventually I'll also have a piece of Advice for ColdSpring's RemoteFactory (i.e. a remote Facade to the underlying bean) that auto-translates query and Record to transfer object (arrays). If the above makes sense to you, keep October 16th free. > I really do think having two open source ORMs are good for the CF > community.

I agree - Transfer and Reactor attack ORM in different ways, and I just prefer the way Reactor looks when I use it.
