Re: [Reactor For CF] Reactor R&D

[Jeff Lester]

I just want to add I build enterprise level web-applications as well. I can see both sides here. Basically Shannon is making a suggestion to tweak something that works on his level, obviously there are going to be different organizations that use different methods, but ultimately, designing an ORM such as reactor so that its auto-generated API names are customizable is both highly desirable, and extremely complex in terms of dynamic coding.

I can see Sean's point in tweaking your hand coded DAO's so that they wrap the Reactor API, that way Reactor does one thing and one thing only, very extravengantly(sp?) well might I add. I guess the end result is, if in this pre 1.0 release stage we've encountered a possible situation where some developers can find it more useful, why not take a look at it. Basically what I understand is that the easiest way to do this is possibly with the configuration xml as Doug stated earlier being able to customize the XyzRecord() and XyzIterator() so that they can be whatever you need them to be. I can only see how this could be useful if you make heavy use of the hasOne / hasMany methods which are to be configured manually.

The end question is, how hard is it to implement this into the configuration as an IteratorPostfix / RecordPostfix variable setting? If it's not that difficult where is the harm in implementing it if only to get more people on board? I'd be willing to help however needed.

Cheers,
Jeff

Why not just modify your "handcoded DAOs" so you don't have to touch
the rest of your application code? Isn't that the better abstraction?
