Hi all,

since three of the major players - IBM, Oracle and BEA - have
voted against JDO...

.... I take it as given that we will never see a wide adoption
of JDO in the industry.


The comments that I wrote about JDO three years ago are as
valid today as they were at that time:

JDO is flawed too badly to be fixed.


Gavin King comes up with some of the same criticisms and adds
his own:

Read "Debunked" on May 10 2004 and "EJB3" on May 7 2004.


What's next after JDO?

EJB 3.0 may set the pace. Finally the resposible people behind the JSP
process seem to have come to reason and they are directing the
specification towards greater simplicity.

There is a lot of talk going on about using Plain Old Java Objects
(POJOs) only. I think that's very nice.


Kind regards,
Carl
