Not true. For example, one of the conventions Rails uses to
make things
easier is their naming conventions, specifically,
pluralization. You
make your MySQL database tables plural, like comments. You
then name
your class Comment and it knows to look in the database for
the table
named comments.
However, you don't have to use this. You can manually
override this at
the top of your class and point it to the proper table in
your database.
This is the kind of flexibility and power that come with a
well thought
out framework. I don't find XP Components to be a very
pragmatic
framework, and as such, it's not of much use to me.
