RE: [Reactor For CF] Removing record from getXyzRecord() methods.

[Doug Hughes]

Well, I find that I can be much more specific about what I want when I just use a regular query.  The advantage comes down to getting just what I need in a very natural manner.  The disadvantage is that it’s not as portable.    Don’t get me wrong.  I still value the OO queries and plan to enhance them over time.  I just forgot the purpose behind reactor for a bit: automate repetitive coding.  These queries are not repetitive.  They’re very specific for a particular purpose.  It makes since to write them out.  This is consistent with the purpose of reactor.   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Kenney Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 11:19 AM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: [Reactor For CF] Removing record from getXyzRecord() methods.   So, any reason in particular that you are not using OO queries so much any more? Are they harder to formulate or too limited for many things?

And getObjIterator() still feels right, even with that change.   Laterz, J   ------------------------------------------------ Jared C.
