Hello all, I'm very new to WebObjects. I've had some early successes with WO (3.51) with simple(ish) databases. I set up the EOModel with all the entities and relationships I needed, and everything went swimmingly. Now, I'm reading certain parts of the EOF DevGuide, specifically the chapter on "Modeling Inheritance". Very shortly, I will be starting the design phase of a project that I'm sure we're going to want to do inheritance with, because we want strong base classes that we can reuse for each project as time goes on. However, what I'm torn at right now is whether I should: - design the database schema first, and fit my classes (and inheritance mapping choice) to the schema, or - do the class hierarchies first, then decide on a case-by-case basis which inheritance mapping choice is best for each entity, and build the schema based on my choices. The latter seems to be the "right" way to do this. But is there a "right" way to do this? Any insight is greatly appreciated!
