Migrating from WebObjects to Ruby on Rails * WebObjects uses any JDBC database ** Modeling with eoModeler * Ruby on Rails ** Need to be aware of special naming conventions. Conventions, plurals, multi-word, camelcase * Class layout. Model classes, eoXXX, .wo, .wod file, ** WO *** Controller java class with same name as .wo directory. No inherit grouping ** Rails *** Directory conventions ** Writing code *** Rails meta programming is much cleaner. ActiveRecord automagically defines find methods and others. *** Query code in WO is weird *** Query code in RR is much cleaner. ** Much less written code for RR. ** Many cheaper options available for Ruby On Rails ** Many helpers now for ajax type applications. Coupled well with Controller and View. See http://script.aculo.us/ ** Competing projects Nitro, Trails
