Re: framework questions/Remote data access

Hi,

here we are again. If Hibernate is the best persistance API, than the 
iSeries is the cheapest
Server to get. You allways speak of FUD, how many Java based persistance 
APIs do you
have used the last years? I mean used, not heard of or something.

Please consult the JDO spec for more details on that. That "the best 
ones they have"
hides that RPG has no means of persistance API at all. There you have to 
know every
single DB field with expressive names like ART0010. Resulting in  DSPFFD 
sessions
all over the place. WHY WHY WHY would i program a language where i have 
to know
stuff like this?

For people like using DB2 and the iSeries with an advanced programming 
approach when
it comes to storing data, check this one:
