Re: framework questions/Remote data access -- JAVA400-L

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: http://www.midrangeserver.com/mpo/mpo120403-story02.html

More FUD!  The Java components I want (the UI stuff) are all available
in a JSP/servlet UI.  As to persistence APIs, the best ones they have
are stuff like Hibernate, which is write-cached, which means if you lose
your JVM you lose your updates!

WHY WHY WHY WHY would I want to move my mission critical systems from a
native I/O environment with almost zero faults to something that can
lose data anytime the JVM hiccups?
