First tests coming through... Promosing, very promising. Well, current achievements (many-to-many link) isn't like real world-shocking news, only the way it is letting itself be handled by the developer is quite refreshing. For the first time I get the feeling that mapping the O to the R doesn't need to be, euh like hard work (CMP never gave me that feeling, but I wasn't using xdoclet then, maybe that is the secret)Had some work on the xdoclet side by the way... Lucky to have found (i.e. have Steven, the web-indexer, find me) someone that went ahead in the xdoclet-integration for Hibernate2. Since I wasn't coming from the 1.2.3 stuff there actually was one very relevant piece in there for me: (dig into the xdoclet-hibernate-module-jar for this)

Further updates to hibernate-properties.xdt to replace
paramName="role" to paramName="name",
also replaced paramName="readonly" with paramName="inverse".

Which exposed me to more xdoclet internals then I was looking for. But the surprise didn't make it less intriguing. Mmm, I wonder what Steven would say about the XMLism:

 <XDtMethod:ifHasMethodTag tagName="hibernate.set">
 <set name="<XDtMethod:methodTagValue tagName="hibernate.set" 
  paramName="name" default="<XDtMethod:propertyName/>"/>"
 <XDtMethod:ifHasMethodTag tagName="hibernate.set" paramName="table">
 table="<XDtMethod:methodTagValue tagName="hibernate.set" paramName="table" />" 
 </XDtMethod:ifHasMethodTag>

Someone sure doesn't like the <xsl:attribute>-type constructions :-)

I saw this one coming...But it came out so much more beautiful then I could of have imagined.

I cannot "compute" finished + software together.
software is like a live creature, more so a project.
You are really starting, now that you are planning
to have "true" users and go out to "the real world" ;-)

I had to play all 40... :-( - thx to Mr. Bruggen, our favourite Novell Employee, for pointing out its existence.

And while we're confessing: I occasionaly do fancy a friendly game of Go. (And before the hardcore challenges come in: I'm at the level of knowing the rules, and enjoying the game)

Which actually opens up to my other pass-time: currently reading the "Alan Turing: the Enigma" (see here for some online parts) The book is utterly thought-provoking, and nice to read, so just do it. (The paperback costs just about the price of the paper and the ink in fact)
