Re: [TinkerPop] Tinkerpop Frames - some clarifications

[Marko Rodriguez]

Hi,

Frames is a lightweight object-to-graph mapper. Here are some points to your questions:

1. Yes -- all interfaces.

2. Yes -- its via "addVertex()"

graph.frame(graph.addVertex(), Person.class)

Take care,

Marko.

Hi,

I started playing around with Frames, but I think I am missing something, it seems there isn't a lot of documentation (if I missed something please let me know)

• Interfaces - If you must use interfaces you can't create the objects in your application unless I create an implementation for each object - which is a bit cumbersome, isn't it ? is there any other option ?
  
• No object to graph mapping - from what I saw you only get an object from graph auto-mapping but when you want to add an object as a vertex you need to call "addVertex" with your interfaces' class and then map your object to the proxied object, again this is a bit awkward, why was it created this way ? 

there's a good chance I am missing something or maybe Frames isn't the right solution here...

if anyone has links to code samples or any documentation that will explain a bit more on Frames it will help a lot...

Thanks,

Eran.

Hi Marko,

Thanks for the reply!

I hoped for something "heavier" which would still allow me to easily migrate between databases, guess it's still early :)

again, thanks for the quick response. 

Eran.
