lol -- interesting idea of "fair". Many of the java MVC frameworks are
not all that different from CA in the amount of config/code you'd need
to create a dataprovider. ;-)
OT -- one of the slicker impl that I've seen is how Macromedia does
things... you configure a service (admittedly in a big honkin' XML file
<grin>) that points to a method of a plain old object. Done. The UI can
then automagically grab data from the object, using a friendly name
"WidgetDataThingy".
And of course, the Rails folks probably don't configure freakin'
anything... they just add a ":remote" or something oh so simple to them
and oh so arcane to anyone else, whisper, "fly little data packet, fly"
and magically Ruby makes the packets dance across the wire. <grin>
Cheers,
Timo
