Dude how is this project going. I know i expressed some reservations about doing this kind of stuff with people based in nigeria

So where is the guy asking the questions.

Other differences i can think of apart from the IOC container is coding to Interfaces and  AOP.

Basically with Spring best practice is to wire dependencies to an interface . The implementation of these dependencies can change without actually affecting the dependant class(classic interface programming) but Spring adds an additional step which is the automatic injection of this dependency into the dependant without u explicity doing this (this is were the IOC comes in). Also out of the box these dependencies can be built as Singletions or lazily initialized without you writing any code for this.

Am not sure about the AOP support in Enterprise Librabry but Spring AOP is very matured

.

my way

Yes Spring .Net lets you do more than working with an ORM tool.

In .Net there are loads of functionality and ways of architeching and building apps but there is no way of taking the basic building blocks and composing them into a coherent whole; this area has mostly been left to the architects and developers tasked with building an application.

Now although there exist a number of best practices of ways of architecting systems - design patterns - you will have to create these patterns youself. What Spring gives you is an implementation of most if these patterns which you can easily integrate with your app. The other beauty is its IOC container which takes the pain out of managing the object dependecies in your app. This in the long run allows you to have POJO classes which makes unit testing a little bit more straight forward as well.

you can always publish ur work in an international scientific journal. The thing is for your theories to come into the mainstream they have to be scrutinized by other scholars out there

their is always hope.

Fow now he should be seeking for a job in small companies where he can gain experience.

He should then save some money and do a Masters

no way

Ok good to see that things are picking up

Kobojunkie:
What exactly does one use Hibernate and Spring for? I have heard of and used NHibernate but not sure I have really read much of folks in .NET using Spring or Hibernate.

You are right . most of the guys i have seen using Spring .Net or NHibernate are actually those that have a lot of experience using the Java versions.

The main idea is that with NHibernate you can do database operations from your object model without you actually writing SQL code .One main advantage with this is that it somethings(not always) solves the impedence mismatch btw ur object model and relational model.

Spring allows you to loosely manage the object dependencies in your app. This is done by you delegating the process of object construction to an IOC contanier. Main advantage i see is that you can hook callbacks into this process thereby streamling ur app from an architectural standpoint. Spring is probably most useful from an application architecture and unit testing standpoint

Ghenghis:
Interesting , how do you manage this ?
How do u decide on what to manage or let the container manage ?
Loose coupling is good but no coupling is a nuisance ,
Spring doesn't manage all my objects so i'm still stuck eith new once in a while

You are right you absolutely need to construct your objects yourself a lot of times if using Spring is an unneccessary overhead you can do without.

The way i decide on whether to use the container or not is to check how the object will be used. Simple dummy objects probably don't require Spring but more complex objects might benefit from Spring.

And also i find writing my unit tests a lot easier when i have all my dependecies handled by the container

probably true

logica:
Please don't respond if you think "Spring" is a metal coiled up such that it stretches and contracts to produce push and pull, or "Hibernate" refers to that thing bears do in winter, or "JPA" is the shortened form of the word for "tortoise" in Yoruba.
Thanks.

Haha  funny!!  where have u been hiding ur face since

nope

true

yea black is the best

yea philps arrogance safed her this week

cute my ass. he is a dickhead

Phillip is a cockhead. am glad he was booted out
