I've started to make Renderer "predefined-schema-friendly" from version 0.29+.You should
be able to use Renderer's rendering methods for predefined schemas. See the "Rendering
Methods" in the latest POD:
package Company::Employee
use Rose::DBx::Object::Renderer qw(:object);
...
# For manager classes
package Company::Employee::Manager
use Rose::DBx::Object::Renderer qw(:manager);
...
Without using Renderer's load() method, all you're missing is built-in column definitions and
formatting methods. However, you can replicate the behaviours of column definition by
using the 'fields' option in render_as_form, and the 'columns' option in render_as_table. For
formatting methods, you can hand craft for your custom rdbo classes. It is a bit more work,
but they are not mandatory.
I will be releasing subsequent versions optimised that. Please let me know if you have any
problems.
Cheers,
Danny
