Hi, I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction, please...
I've been looking at Woody and the bean binding sample included in 2.1.(x), and wondering how i can synchronize the bean with the database, or at least what's the best way of doing this. >From reading other posts, I'm thoroughly confused! Best I can figure, the options are: * code the connection into the bean itself (or Helper class), using ctx lookup. [How can Helper class be Composable, or does Helper by-pass Avalon entirely, perhaps with direct jndi/j2ee datasource lookup?] * use javascript such as database.js included in the petstore sample to get a DataSourceComponent/connection and update the bean to/from db in the (woody) flowscripts * use Actions (Composable) to lookup a DataSourceComponent and handle db interraction. How to reference the user's stored (continuation) bean instance data? Just for the record, I'm aware of the O/R mapping possibilities using OJB, and Hibernate, but think I need more basic understanding before potentially tackling these options. I've also read with interest how betwixt/castor can be used to output XML representation of a bean for Woody to bind to, but would still have to ask, how/where can db synchronization be handled?
