Hi David,
So how is it going on your end?
I finished mapping loaders from both XML and annotations (but not yet
spec-compliant merging of the two). Now I am half way done with the
"bridge" between JPA and Cayenne mapping. I will be on the road for
the next few days, but I hope to finish this work over the weekend.
Once this is done, we'll be able to persist arbitrary annotated
objects (the only Cayenne artifact in them being a special superclass
- class enhancer is still to be done).
The next step I am planning is a JPA class generation template, so
that we can use CayenneModeler for mapping and generation of JPA-
annotated objects. This should significantly simplify DB reverse
engineering and mapping process.

I still need a week or two to nail down our deployment and work
toward the JPA side of things. Once that occurs it should be
fairly easy to add in support for at least application-managed
EntityManagers.
For a simple goal, I'd like to take this app which is just one
stateless session bean and one CMP and turn it into an EJB 3 style
session bean with an new JPA style entity.

Would be nice to make that example a tad more involved with a few
more entities, but that app safely encompasses a basic
functionality we need: a jsp talking to a session bean talking to
an entity.
