Comment by Noname on 2005-08-22 15:22:40 Thank you for reviewing OccamJ OccamJ is designed to minimize complexity. One area of complexity that it minimizes is Deployment Descriptors. You can build and deploy an application serving hundreds of Java Classes with an empty DD file. The biggest use of DD files in OccamJ is for JDO persistence (.jdo) files. OccamJ supports Solarmetric and Versant JDO flavors and these tools provide workbenches to configure the dd files. For example: In one application migrated from EJB/CMP to OccamJ/JDO the total deployment descriptors were reduced from approx. 50,000 lines to less than 800 lines. The majority of this was comprised of .jdo files for Object to Relational mapping. The result was a huge reduction in compile and deployment times, and an application that ran faster. This translates to reduced costs. Customers pay to have their applications implemented not to have developers wrestling with the implemetation.
