  • Yes, that's true, but this one also has a lot of features that the DataSet has (i.e. FilteredRowSet).



    The first RowSets were quite basic. The new ones are more like DataSets.

  • A couple of days ago i read in a JSR about creating transformations that are not based on XSLT. It's something like "streaming transformation", of course not based on XPath, but really faster specially on large Xml documents because the AST does not have to be created.

  • Interesting tone to your post ...



    In my experience to date, it is the other way around. For example, all the fuss to abstract your database platform and the fact that most example code (even the app blocks) build for one database platform only (Sql Server) whereas JDBC has this taken care of without even thinking about it.



    Also give me a fully featured mail implementation like JavaMail (real SMTP and multipart - not CDO wrapped - and where is the POP library?)



    Don't take me the wrong, I work in .NET most of the time but still feel like the catchup is the other way around.
