We are very interested in this project for integration into our reporting
portal product for e-commerce companies. I have a couple of questions for
the developers of the database "peer" classes of TurbineUser.
1. While most of the database access is based on the minimal set of
functionality present in the util and db packages, it seems that the
TurbineUserPeer class also uses (and duplicates) some functionality in the
working-dogs.com Village package. For instance, the Schema, Column and
other classes are used to build a list of column names for use in saving the
hash table. It seems (on a first look) that this functionality is available
via the TurbineDatabaseMap class. Is this class in transition or is it
basically complete?
2. The documentation states that the peer classes are the best way to use
the database classes as these are the classes which are used internally by
Turbine. Will this be true in the future or is it expected to change.
As a general note. I think it would be a good idea to look into the Java
Generic library version 3.1 put out by ObjectSpace. Their generic library
includes containers, iterators and predicates. The last item would be
expecially useful in the Criteria class as it duplicates much of this
functionality and could be significantly simplified by using the concept of
predicates. The web site for getting this (free) product is
www.objectspace.com.
