Andres Aguiar's Weblog

Roland Tanglao -Aha! That's what I don't like about relational databases. Static schemas that are impossible to change which makes it alot more difficult to do iterative development!

Sam Gentile quoted my post about the Pet Shop application with a title that is a little unfair to the MSDN guys that just copied the Sun's J2EE database structure ;)

Matt Croydon also blogged about the DevCon.

We wanted to check how many lines of code we could save if we wrote the Pet Shop application with DeKlarit, assuming that it will take much less, and then we could write an article saying 'how better was writing apps with DeKlarit'.

Andres Aguiar:  I built an Eclipse plugin that calls the Apache Axis WSDL2Java Emitter, so I have VS.NET's 'Add Web Reference' functionality in Eclipse.  Would you be willing to contribute it to Apache Axis?  If so, post it here and I will commit it for you, will full attribution. [Sam Ruby]

In his WebServices DevCon keynote, Sam Ruby asked us to Just say NO! to ADO!, meaning that the ADO Recordset the ADO.NET DataSet, that are usually passed as parameters in WebServices, do not interop.

As part of my demo in the Web Services DevCon, I wanted to use Apache Axis to show how you can use the stuff we generate from another platform. As I had 20 minutes for the demo I did not want to create manually the stubs, etc, so I built an Eclipse plugin that calls the Apache Axis WSDL2Java Emitter, so I have VS.NET's 'Add Web Reference' functionality in Eclipse.

Brian Jepson blogged most of the presentations, but not mine ;), which is understandable because mine was the only 'commercial' presentation. So, I'll give you my unbiased opinion about it ;)
