    <p>I started web programming with raw PHP, gradually moving on to its various frameworks, then to Django and Rails. In every framework I've used, pretty much everything I need to do with a database (even involving relatively complex things like many-to-many relationships) could be taken care of by the automatically generated database API without much work. Those few operations that were more complex could be done with straight SQL or by tying together multiple API calls.</p> <p>Now I'm starting to learn Java, and it's confusing me that the language celebrated for being so robust for back-end infrastructure requires so much more code (doesn't that mean harder to maintain?) to do simple things. Example from a tutorial: say you want to search by last name. You write the method in the DAO using Hibernate query language, then you write a method in the Service to call it (couldn't that be automated?), then you call the Service method from the controller. Whereas in any other framework I've worked with, you could call something to the effect of</p> <pre><code>Person.find_by_last_name(request.POST['last_name']) </code></pre> <p>Straight out of the controller - you don't have to write anything custom to do something like that.</p> <p>Is there some kind of code generation I haven't found yet? Something in Eclipse? Just doesn't seem right to me that the language regraded as one of the best choices for complex back-ends is so much harder to work with. Is there something I'm missing?</p>

    1. COConsider softening the "language celebrated for being so robust..." material. Sometimes it helps to leave out the complaints and cut to the question: "in another framework I've worked with..." Otherwise the answers may devolve into arguments.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
