Thanks for the feedback. We're constantly working to improve our documentation, and we always provide help via the [email protected] mailing list (cc'ed). But also, remember this is an open source community. If you think something can be improved, and you have the time to do so, then please contribute. Doesn't need to be code... docs also work (as do raising bug/feature requests). In this way the product gets better for all. > Is there a book of Apache Isis (such as Manning's book Spring in action, > BPM in action , etc)?

Apache Isis has grown from the combination of the original Naked Objects Framework plus a number of "sister" projects that I wrote for a book, Domain Driven Design using Naked Objects Framework (2010). That book is now out of print, but possible to obtain. It'll provide useful context even if none of the code in it runs. See [1] The other book still around is Naked Objects 2002. That'll give even more insight into some of the original thinking/motivation of the framework. But, as I say, if what you want is up-to-date answers as to how to achieve something, then ask on users@ or look at our documentation page [2] Cheers Dan [1] http://isis.apache.org/intro/learning-more/books.html [2] http://isis.apache.org/documentation.html Thank you > Juan > > > 2014-06-05 1:02 GMT-03:00 Dan Haywood <[email protected]>: > > >> >> >> On 5 June 2014 01:57, Juan Martin Buireo <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Thanks again for the quick answer.
