Indeed, but it will ship in a few weeks according to Inprise.

Yeah, but they claim to support RMI-IIOP. The only problem is that they can't
propagate transaction and security contexts : how useful!!!

I think WLS does support some OR mapping tools like TopLink. On the other hand,
their CMP support is a joke compared to IAS. It doesn't support chars,
BigDecimals, serializable Java objects and references to other beans. IAS
supports all that and even allows you to map a JavaBean's fields to multiple
columns.

Then go IAS.

IAS also supports automatic table creation. However, I would just use this as a
start basis : if you want performance and don't want to lose too much space, you
have to configure your tables yourself : indexes, constraints, column space,
etc.
