Blanchard not Balnchard. Sorry for the typo.

Just wondering: What DO you think is an acceptable programming language (criteria: OO and good XML manipulation)? And why is Java then so widely accepted if it breaks all balnchard laws? Is there perhaps a great shortage of Judges who uphold these laws? Or is it simply so that it is too confusing for the jury ... Gerben. -----Original Message----- From: tblanchard@m...

Dynamic proxies basically construct classes and load them on the fly by generating code to forward interface calls to implementations. So the system relies on code generation (binary code generation in this case) to do its thing. Which implies that Java isn't really powerful enough to do whats needed as it exists today and you're already scraping up against the wall. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl> ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
