Worthless Information

Ted agrees that Craig Andera is off his rocker, when he suggests that code gen is better than AOP. He promises more discussion to come...

He also has some interesting comments about data persistence:

"No, Dave, that's precisely my point--we're not persisting objects. That would be the case if we were talking about taking data and putting in into an object database (a true OODBMS, that is), but that's not the case going on here. In 99.5% of all enterprise projects, we're putting data into the database--the fact that you as a Java programmer choose to view the data in the form of an object model is entirely your choice."
