Point taken Doug.
I guess I'm used to software that *needs* attention all the time, so it's
always getting nudges, hotfixes, service packs etc (not *my* code, you
understand... ;-). So it's a bit of a foreign concept when software doesn't
need attention.
That said, obviously I didn't know one way or the other until Nathan's
comment; so I guess I'll just forget I read that (sorry Nathan), and truck
on "business as usual".
I really didn't want to have to go have a closer look @ Transfer or...
err... that PU thing, so this is good news.
Cheers.

Subject: Re: [Reactor for CF] Reactor querying the DB schema for every query
(reposting in correct place this time, hopefully :-)
Argh. I hate that people consider is stagnating. I admit I could be more
involved and active, but frankly it works. Why mess with it too much?
I have been considering naming a PM for the project and other related roles
so that people don't perceive a lack of motion. I've also considered a few
different releases of versions of reactor (lite, etc). Heck, I was
talking to Chris Scott about automating Flex integration via ColdSpring.
Anyhow, my flight is boarding and I've got to run. Reactor = good now, but
needs to be called a 1.0. I want better docs and a few bug fixes before I
do that.

Hi Nathan: thanks for the response.
Thanks for the heads-up on the status of Reactor. I wasn't aware that it
wasn't an actively developed piece of work. Well: as you say and as Doug
demonstrated, there is *some* activity, but from what you say it sounds like
it's kinda stagnating. That's a pity.
I had a look at Transfer and Illudium pu-36, and neither seemed to be quite
implementing things how I figured they ought to be implemented, and I think
in both cases each had some things missing from what I would consider the
essential body of work (for what each is delivering, which obviously is
different: I'm not trying to compare apples to oranges to kiwifruit here).
That said, my opinion was based on the high-level docs, and I've not really
had a crack at either of them, so perhaps I should not be too quick to
judge.
However I have to say that this has made me sceptical as to whether Reactor
is going to be a good fit for us, so I might need to take a closer look at
these other options, and try to come up with some manner of like-for-like
(as much as it can be done) assessment of all three.
I realise I'm coming across as a "take take take" sort of person in regards
to this. I'm a competent (sometimes I like to think "more than competent";
sometimes not ;-) CF developer, and certainly understand what's going on
under the hood of Reactor, so I kind of feel guilty about not putting my
hand up to help with the project. The sad truth is that I am mostly a 9-5
developer (well... less "5" and more "6" or "7"), and kinda want to keep it
that way. I help out on the Adobe forums, pitch my oar into people's blogs
occasionally, and potter around with things after hours sometimes when
there's a need to (like this exploration of Model Glue, ColdSpring and
Reactor I'm currently doing), but I know I would never be dedicated enough
to a cause to really be of any use to an open source project. Just as
well - for my sake - there's people who are a bit more altruistic than me, I
s'pose.
In good news, though: once I did a global search and replace in my sample
code of "objectName" for "objectAlias", and reverted *out* my changes to the
ColdSpring.xml to get the reactor beans to work (that mucking around with
aliases I mentioned earlier): everything is going fine in my sample code
now: in production mode, I am not seeing any re-querying of the DB schema,
and the files are being written to the queries directory correctly. So this
makes me happy.
Cheers for everyone's help.
