Coming late again into this discussion. Just had a chance to go
through the page. Really impressed with graphical demonstration of
ORM inheritance concepts.
A few comments:
* As was suggested before, should we keep the interfaces discussion
separate? There's much more uncertainly about mapping ORM interfaces.
So maybe create the Interfaces page under CAY space that is a scratch
space and doesn't get published to the main site?
* Regarding inheritance terminology... I suggest adding a "Cayenne"
column in the terminology matrix to make clear what we call it in
Cayenne compared to the other ORM frameworks.
* This also begs a question which terminology we adopt, EOF or JPA? I
am slightly in favor of JPA, as it is more descriptive in the absence
of the diagram. But historically we used terms "vertical" and
"horizontal" in the Cayenne community to discuss these concepts, so
there's an precedent that favors EOF terms. Thoughts?
