Thanks for the responses. Right now our company naming standards for DBs use
all lower case and underscores ( we have had meetings and that is what was
decided upon ). So I think for now, I am going to go with Aliasing the
coulmsn to be mixed case so that it is consistent with the Bean and other
objects.

Thanks for the help.

That would get my vote. One of the benefits of having the gateway objects is
that you can alias columns (and whatever other transforms you want) and
present a consistent view of the data - even if the schema changes, you can
often just modify the gateway object's SQL so that the rest of the
application doesn't need to change (except where you need to add code to
handle specific new columns perhaps).
