Hi folks! The J2EE discussion on the general list has raised some interesting questions. Is there any possible replacement for entity EJBs in Jakarta land? I'm thinking about a straight mapping from a JavaBean to a database, which can be useful in many simple-usage situations.
The idea is: you have a bean, you want to store it in the database, every attribute in a field. References to included beans would be solved with foreign keys. A special "primary key" field is used to read it back. There are some pieces that could be used: Torque to insert XML in a database, and probably Digester to turn a bean into XML. But I don't know much about either. Is there any interest in something like this?
