fast-and-looseness by propagating types through foo.eq(bar) expressions, foo.lessThan(bar) expressions and the like. This means a few things stopped working, like StringFuncs.length(MyRecord.BYTE_ARRAY_FIELD), but now there's Funcs.arrayLength() for that. Also Date functions are looser than I'd like because there's no supertype between sql.Date and sql.Timestamp (to express a date having type) and sql.Timestamp and sql.Time (to express a time having type). So you can still do some foot shooting with those methods, but it's hardly worth crying over since the foot shooting range was fully open for business prior to this. MSOY fixes coming presently. ProjectX fixes shortly thereafter.
Depot Persistence Library ------------------------- Depot is a relational persistence library for Java. It is an ORM library, but has aims that are somewhat different from the popular "managed" persistence libraries like Hibernate and others. Website ------- See the Depot website for documentation and other info: http://code.google.com/p/depot/ Building -------- The library is built using ant. It can be found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/ If you use build-ivy.xml to build, the necessary dependencies will be automatically fetched by Ivy (which will itself be downloaded if needed). To compile the code and generate a jar file, invoke: % ant -f build-ivy.xml dist Invoke 'ant -f build-ivy.xml -p' to see information on other build targets. Depot also provides .classpath and .project files for Eclipse users which require that you set an EXT_LIBS_DIR variable indicating the location of the external jar dependencies. The Depot Eclipse project also depends on the Eclipse project for the samskivert library. That library can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/samskivert/ License and Distribution ------------------------ Depot is released under the LGPL. This means you are free to use Depot on any project, open source or proprietary, but that any modifications made to the library must be made available to the maintainers. See COPYING for more detailed information. The most recent version of the Depot source code is available at the website listed above. $Id$
