Hey all, I have been trying to get OJB to work under cocoon with MySQL. I have finally succeded (to a certain extent) However, I am very quickly getting confused.
The woody OJB block sample uses: var factory = cocoon.getComponent(Packages.org.apache.cocoon.ojb.jdo.components.JdoPMF.ROL E); Now I kinda spied out that the component manager is going the way of the dodo in favour of a sequencemanger type thing... So my working bit is : var factory = new Packages.org.apache.ojb.jdori.sql.OjbStorePMF; So my questions to more experienced Java developers are: 1.) Why would we make a block for this? It seems the block simply calls OJB itself. Since OJB is not part of cocoon, it would make sense to invoke it on its own. 2.) I am working on the first part, which is basically a user list that I use with the authentication framework. This part would a good idea to give back as sample. If I do that, do I need to make it a block now? Now before you guys answer..... I am a poor hack->click-reload->hack PHP guy... I love OO and java but it is a struggle :S JD
