Re: Hibernate on DB2/400

["Joe Sam Shirah" <joe_sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   OTOH, the blogger could have read the fine manual/docs, or Googled to 
find:

http://www.hibernate.org/403.html

I really doubt that Hibernate would have arbitrarily reversed a JDBC 
standard ( by spec, autocommit is true when a Connection is returned ) 
without some way of backing out of it from the very beginning.

   As regards open source, unless I'm aware of a proprietary product that 
does "better" hands down, OSS is the first place I look.  But, not all OSS 
is good.  Obvious, but sometimes overlooked.  And, as I think the above 
shows, one can end up writing proprietary code from open source.  My real 
question is, why didn't the guy go to Gavin and say "this needs to be in 
Hibernate and I'll contribute it," so there would be A source and ONE 
source?  Of course, then he would have learned that his work wasn't 
necessary, but that's beside the point, which is:  resist ( insofar as 
possible ) the temptation to say "I'll just change this..." and make 
maintenance headaches for yourself, while contributing nothing back.  IMO, 
etc.
