Not sure about hibernate, but one of the things we miss most about Cayenne in our JPA environment is DataContexts.
- The ability to work with objects without an activate database transaction - The ability to commit from one data context into another - The ability to just toss a data context without keeping any changes made - The ability to roll back a data context when necessary These are things that may eventually one day push my current project and future projects back into Cayenne from JPA.
