We had a meeting this morning which included a discussion on Hibernate vs Cayenne (we = the team that is developing that politically sensitive application I mentioned and was trying to do some benchmarking). Several of the Hibernate developers, after I showed them Cayenne, thought Cayenne looked easier to learn/use (they LOVED the idea of the data context), but in the end chose to do the new project in Hibernate (the devil they know). A good portion of their thought process was that Cayenne 3 isn't officially released yet and that Cayenne 2 was too old. (No one uses "beta" code, it was argued.)
I guess your team should consider that it has a very unique advantage with Cayenne - a committer who can fix things if they are broken. They won't have that with Hibernate ;-)
Anyways, I guess we won't be able to fix that DataDomain snapshot cache contention issue in 3.0, but hopefully we will in 3.1
While I'm on a soapbox ... I think it would be better if 3.1 included only a handful of features and could be put out 4-6 months after 3.0. Repeat for 3.2 ... That way it doesn't look like it is sitting still for to long (perception, I know).
I am all for it. If 3.1 is just DI/configuration rework (and anything else squeezed in while this rework is being done), I am personally totally fine with it.
