as if that's something to be proud of . . .

It keeps me sane... I've been working on one fucking little tiny problem all day long and have made no progress at all. I can sum up the problem in one sentence: "Persist DocumentOrder objects in the database, associated with the User object." BUT IT WON'T WORK, WHY GOD, WHY?!?!?

v. ob·ject, ob·ject·ed, ob·ject·ing, ob·jects
v. intr.
1. To present a dissenting or opposing argument; raise an objection
2. To be averse to or express disapproval of something

try the word "agree" instead of "object" . . . might work better

Any thing, entity, concept, or abstraction (real or imagined) with clear boundaries and meanings within a particular context, view, or domain (e.g. customers, vendors, locations, products, parts, services, contracts, reports, systems, resources, equipment, goals, business concepts, etc.). An object may be an instance of one (or more) classes of similar objects that shared common attribute types and operations.

An instance of a particular class. In general, any number of objects may be constructed from a class definition (see singleton, however). The class to which an object belongs defines the general characteristics of all instances of that class. Within those characteristics, an object will behave according to the current state of its attributes and environment.

A data structure that implements some feature and has an associated set of operations. For RPC applications, an object can be anything that an RPC server defines and identifies to its clients (using an object UUID). Often an RPC object is a physical computing resource such as a database, directory, device or processor. Alternatively, an RPC object can be an abstraction that is meaningful to an application, such as a service or the location of a server. See also object UUID.

In object-oriented programming, a variable comprising both routines and data that is treated as a discrete entity. An object is based on a specific model, where a client using an object's services gains access to the object's data through an interface consisting of a set of methods or related functions. The client can then call these methods to perform operations.

A programming unit that groups together a data structure (fields) and the operations (methods) that can use or affect that data. Objects are the principal building blocks of object-oriented programs.
developer.apple.com/techpubs/webobjects/Enterprise_Objects/Glossary/chapter_15_section_1.html


A computational grouping of operations and data into a modular unit. An object is defined by the interface it presents to others, its behavior when operations on its interface are invoked, and its state.
java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/idl/jidlGlossary.html


An object is the encapsulation of behavior and/or data in a programmed unit; when an object encapsulates both behavior and data, we refer to it as a component (for example, a djinn is a component). One research question the Infospheres Group is investigating is allowable behaviors of djinns. Many of the Java classes provided with the Infospheres package allow the creation of objects such as Mailboxes and Messages; the behavior of an object is controllable through its interface.

In programming, an element that combines data (properties) and behavior (methods) in a single container of code. Objects inherit their properties and methods from the classes above them in the hierarchy and can modify the properties and methods to suit their own purposes.

An object is created from a class by assigning specific values for the class resources. See class and instance.

In object-oriented design or programming, a concrete realization of a class that consists of data and the operations associated with that data. An item that a user can manipulate as a single unit to perform a task. An object can appear as text, an icon, or both.

(1) In object-oriented design or programming, a concrete realization of a class that consists of data and the operations associated with that data. (2) An item that a user can manipulate as a single unit to perform a task. An object can appear as text, an icon, or both.
www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/httpservers/doc/v20/manual/ibm/9agloss.htm


An abstract or atomic entity that corresponds to something tangible in an archive environment, such as a grouping of data (data object) or a related grouping of information about that data(catalog object).
pds.jpl.nasa.gov/dpw/appc.html


Also called a table in database parlance, an object is a single logical grouping of attributes. For example, in the Data Warehouse, the Person object contains attributes such as Last Name and Age. Each object is represented in GQL as a single icon.
oregon.uoregon.edu/~sisdwh/glossary.html


(1) A computer representation of something that a user can work with to perform a task. An object can appear as text or an icon. (2) A collection of data and member functions that operate on that data, which together represent a logical entity in the system. In object-oriented programming, objects are grouped into classes that share common data definitions and member functions. Each object in the class is said to be an instance of the class.
