I've not really looked at that.I was getting the thought when loking at the db-facility is just firing up the server, so I would not call it a facility since it doesn't do anything on its own whith the components. it's more like one of the first containers ready to be included by a block as a subsystem.
I think it would best in the line of Merlin to persist a component in order to take the focus away from classes, but then it seems the component has to expose some information on how to persist itself. Maybe that could be a bundle of persistence descriptors per component that describe the mappings etc. as Hibernate/JDO descriptors etc. Do you have more thoughts on that? Maybe we could have a chat on IRC? I just feel that this is some base functionality needed. It doesn't have to be complicated, it should just do IoC for the triggering of the persistence calls (update, save etc.), much like the HTTP facility that routes the calls and no more than that.
