RE: SimpleORM Download Form

It is easy to create a generic method that will populate POJOs, see the mailing list

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SimpleORM/message/1675

Would not be that hard to create a dynamic proxy either -- a fun and project if anyone is interested. 

Do your other tools use Fields or Bean methods.  If the latter then you don't need to create POJOs at all -- just the get and set methods.

The key though is to use the SDataSet/SRecordInstances directly for the other purposes.  Should only require small wrappers.  SRecordInstances are much more powerful than POJOs because they can easily store more information about each field then just its value.

Please post to the mailing list.

Just because it is possible to push twigs along the ground with ones nose
does not necessarily mean that is the best way to collect firewood.
