I am using amazon’s simpledb for my task list app. With the simplejpa api it took me less than 30 minutes to setup and start using…. until i tried storing an xml blob which is becoming a bit of a nightmare for me. Something about an http interface to your db doesn’t sit right with xml blobs so far.
If any of you have examples of simpleDB, simplejpa and blobs i would love to see how you use them.
EDIT** The issue was that simpleDB has a limit of 1024 bytes for a “value”, pretty small. I guess thats why S3 exists. Well I in turn had to do one of those fangled rational db’s instead and make another table. I presume one day I will thank myself for doing that.**
