What’s Planned for EZPDO?

Musing the following.

OQL

Object query language (OQL) offers a more flexible and efficient way to find objects. The JDO specfication (especially Chapter 14) provides a lot of interesting stuff to chew on. Sitepoint.com has an interesting thread on the topic.

Note: We have implemented a preliminary version of OQL in EZPDO. Find more at EZOQL.

XMI/UML

Wouldn’t it be nice if we can take class specifications in XMI from UML graphic tools, such as (Gentleware Poseidon and MagicDraw), instantiate and manage them in EZPDO directly?1)

XML Schema

Or how about bringing in classes spec’ed in XML Schema? 

  <xsd:schema targetNamespace="bookstore"
      xmlns="http://mybookstore.com" 
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:complexType name="Book">
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:element name="pages" type="xsd:integer"/>
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:schema>
1) The EZPDO team has started an experimental sub-project called X2P (short for XMI-to-PHP). Let’s see what comes out of it.

    Hello,

    is this one not ok ? http://www.waterproof.fr/products/xmi2php/?PHPSESSID=72b0599d845af718bfbc5447b1285005

    Thanks for the link. Indeed we tried that out. It was pretty interesting, but it did not seem to provide a complete set of functionalities we have been looking for and the development seems dead. :( Besides the focus of our X2P project is to make it work with the EZPDO ORM framework. The project is experimental and is for internal use only for now.
