The only place I've used them is with default values with MySQL. In MySQL you can't use expressions so I've updated the dbms specfic TO to set the default TO value to now().
It's a bit of a stretch :) Doug On 1/23/07, Shannon Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't necessarily think they are weird because the rest of the reactor framework is constructed like that; rather, I was wondering if it is necessary? I was hoping someone came up with a use case that illustrated a situation where they were used. It is something that could become important for the framework as more and more people adopt Flex. Speaking purely from opinion here, a transfer object should be pretty universal so that you can pass it along to other technologies—the Reactor TOs generally work great, but the DBMS specific class makes for a semi-permanent communication vehicle between Flex and a service using Reactor. We have an application that will be utilizing literally hundreds of TOs generated by Reactor and we actually might be switching the DBMS from MSSQL to MySQL. Not horrible to fix, but a point to consider none-the-less. Doug, since you architected this… can you drum up any situation where the extra inheritance is needed in the TOs? This conversation is pretty much moot if there is a use case for it and I won't waste my time conversing over this for the sake of flex anymore. Actually, I am just really curious now… - Shannon ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Doug Hughes *Sent:* Tuesday, January 23, 2007 1:59 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [Reactor for CF] DBMS Specific TOs? FYI, although I welcome criticism, and I frankly agree that database specific TOs are a bit of a weird concept, this is not something I plan to change. If you feel strongly about it you can file a ticket and people can add their support to it.
