Leo,
Agree on the Hibernate part, although it's kindof the de-facto
standard for database access I guess. And most people don't use Tacos
just-for-fun but will need to implement it in larger environments so
this might be a good idea. On the other hand, if you strip the
annotations it's just a POJO, so it's kindof irrelevant.
I use Hibernate everywhere - that's not the problem. Is rather a problem
of minimizing dependencies for Tacos demo. It should be as light as
possible. Of course we can always use HSQLDB to avoid asking the user to
create a database... but if Pojos work fine, what's the point?
The problem is that I cannot get it work (obiously ;)), debugging
output is very minimal at best and when things blow I'm having a very
hard time finding things out. This is not really to bad if you have a
simple example or very elaborate documentation, but I'm getting the
feeling that I'm thrown in the deep end and my swimming skills are
somewhat limited. As the standard example uses fileaccess, I can use
that a bit but it's not simple enough for me I guess.
So I guess what's lacking is nothing, it's too complete. I can see two
main usages for trees, that is filesystems which are are allready in
the demo, and data from databases, for which there is no plug-and-play
example. I guess a simpler example which addresses the last part would
surely help the acceptance/usage of Tacos (atleast overhere).
I agree with you that the demo needs some work, clarifications, etc.
It's faster with code contributions, but anyway, it's on my to-do list ;)
As a matter of fact, I vote for an even simple approach - no file system
or database access - for the example. If the examples and docs are
clear, you should be able to wire it up in an Hibernate application ;)
