Guerilla Tactics What do you do when an open source developer doesn't respond to your questions fast enough? Go to his site and announce he was killed in a traffic accident.

Zope 3: Aspect oriented? Jon Udell just wrote a piece about the promise and perils of J2EE, as practiced in the real world. Here's an interesting snippet: The example of the .Net Framework is also very much on the mind of Marc Fleury, president and CTO of the JBoss Group in Atlanta. "I love its simplicity," he says. He's equally enthralled with the declarative, metadata-driven style of C#. "Most of JBoss 4 is about fighting with limitations of Java," says Fleury -- in particular, its lack of support for unknown interfaces. In versions 3.2 and 4 of JBoss, an EJB can be used in an "aspect-oriented" style, its services delegated in a declarative manner to non-J2EE handlers. Does this mean that Zope 3, with the ZCML-style of stitching things together outside the code, is "aspect oriented"? 9:20:48 AM   comment []
