My emphasis is not on changing out, rather migrating to. An additional benefit would also be migrating from (potentially). >You also don't seem to be objecting to createRecord() - another method that is not named the same way in other ORMs. That is because the createRecord() is used below the service level -- no problem there. I do see your point completely... I think we actually might be both right here about our points and I may not be communicating effectively without white boarding the service pattern we are using. - Shannon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean Corfield Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Reactor For CF] Reactor R&D On 3/24/06, Shannon Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I will let Kurt answer that one, because he has the Java experience.

I hope I am answering your question right. Yes, but you're missing my point I think: you are asking Reactor to change but none of the other ORMs will fit your naming convention without change either (substantial change in some cases!) so changing Reactor does not make it easier to use other ORMs - a point that was claimed in this thread. You also don't seem to be objecting to createRecord() - another method that is not named the same way in other ORMs. You're asking Reactor to change to fit your world view instead of abstracting the ORM layer - which you'd have to do in order to use any other ORM, or even custom DAOs for code that doesn't use an ORM... Can you see the point I'm making here? I'm also very concerned about changing getXyzRecord() when getXyzIterator() also exists. The Record/Iterator distinction seems rather important to me...
