Hibernate, or hibernate-tools, will do everything.  You can even use
your own templates for the templating engine in hibernate-tools.
FreeMaker, I think.
The mapping language is really mature, so there's a lot of
flexibility.  You can keep your whole data model, including custom
queries and whatnot, in the XML mapping files.

And then there's the plug-ins for Eclipse.  There's a visual mapping
editor, nifty query builder, and auto-complete for writing the mapping
XML files by hand.  The Tools plugin will reverse-engineer your
database, or create the mappings from your classes (I think, if not
there's another tool that will).

There's actually a whole suite of JBossAS tools, but mostly I just use
the hibernate stuff.  If you were doing seam, it would probably be
pretty pimp.

Right on, maybe they'll be more successful this time.  You think my
threads are twisted by my own design?

Years ago, these same cretins started jacking my threads and demanding
money (in those days, they wanted it in US currency).

I don't negotiate with hostage takers tho, and would not cave to their
demands.

There was this whole "Ransom" (the movie) type thing that went down,
high speed chases and whatnot.  I jumped out of a helicopter...
anyways, half way through I brought in the Fedz, or really, they
contacted me, as apparently this thread-jacking crew is pretty
wide-spread, although under-reported-- they thought I'd done
valliantly in my personal battle, and wanted advice.
  How had I come up with this style/technique that was nigh
unjackable?  Sure, they still get me from time to time, but, compared
to the FBI... man, last we heard from their best agent, he began by
saying he'd seen one suspected-jacker at the beach, but never got past
how beautiful the sunset was, and how he'd tried surfing earlier, and
how life was forever different.

We never learned *which* beach, of course, because his sat-link ran
out of batteries, or something, before he got to that part.

And he was the best of the best.

Perhaps the next-gen of agents will be up to the task.  Only time will tell.

I'm hoping to have one of those "Heat" type coffee meetings with the
head thread-jacker, and see if I can get inside the mind of our enemy.
 I suspect it's a woman, but don't have any hard evidence.  But you
know women, right?  Man, chicks are amazing creatures... ut oh!  mmmmm
ramma rammah ding bong </meditation> Phew!  (Once they manage to start
turning your own threads, you'll know why the federales want to learn
the technique-- I can teach you, for a small fee.  Considering how
much The Man is paying me for training, I might just do it for free
(They really value contractors!).)

Maybe they'd just go away if one of their targets paid the money.  I
ain't gonna do it though-- I don't care if my technique *is* only
thread-jacker "resistant" and not "proof", and that they've been using
the threads they've managed to turn to take yet more threads hostage,
such as your own.  I will not succumb to their demands.

It's not just principal, it's logic.  (Sets a precedent, you see.)

But hey, you can do what you want.  Maybe they'll just bounce, now
that I've revealed some of how they operate, however I wouldn't hold
my breath.  If you've got the loot, you may wanna try just paying the
bastards.  As you can see, stopping them 100% has proven difficult,
even for me.  And once they get you, you're gotten.
Soon your own threads will be jacking other's threads, and demanding
money for their safe return.

You pay a high price, beating them at their own game.  Maybe we all do.

Stop the topic-violence!
