I have recently done some work on a couple of EOAdaptor's, one of which is NoSQL based. Some observations: 1. It's hard. 2. If you want it to be fast, it's hard. 3. If you want it to support the full compliment of EOF features including inheritance and flattened relationships it's hard. 4. If you want it to support db side sorting or uniqueness it's hard. 5. See point 1. I don't want to discourage you, but writing an EOAdaptor with more than the most basic functionality is not a simple undertaking. Having said that, I recommend you take a look at the JavaMemoryAdaptor in Wonder as a reference to get you started. -- Seeya...Q Quinton Dolan - [email protected] Gold Coast, QLD, Australia (GMT+10) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
