[opencms-dev] To the developers team

[Mark Harris]

Hey all, I work with Cory, and am using OpenCMS on a couple of projects.

I started looking through the source, and it seems that an OR mapping
project could be started very simply by swapping out the stuff in the
CmsDbAccess objects with OR mapping code.

I would mean this as a first step, and it should not really affect the rest
of the app, as long as all db access goes through those DbAccess objects.

Is this true? Would this be as straightforward as I think, or am I crazy?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

	I agree.  Implementing a data access layer like OJB or Hibernate would be a
huge step forward.

	By doing this OpenCMS will work on other Databases (like postgres,
SQLServer, DB2, Oracle), without a problem.  It would also free up the
OpenCMS dev team to work on bigger issues.

	It can be a slow transition.   We can start off by just using the new Data
Access Layer to execute the existing queries.  Then slowly port over the
Queries to use the OR Mapped Objects.

	Once that process is complete OpenCMS would be database independant.

	Can someone give a brief overview of the changes required to make this
change?

No it's not in CVS, it was just some internal testing we did at Alkacon.

In a later version this might be an option.
