Yes, am pretty sure there are ways to make life easier with SQL, sorry for bad comparison. See, despite all of the skepticism about O/R mechanisms, I believe in this approach for one reason - I used a good O/R tool for major development for about 4 years now. I am talking about WebObjects. I believe this was the first application server out there (I think before even the term was coined). Now it lives in a relative obscurity since NeXT (the inventor of it) was bought by Apple, and Apple has no reputation for "enterprise" solutions. The bottom line here is that developer productivity goes up significantly. Code produced is incomparably easier to understand and maintain. And performance price is not that big (definitely not comparable to the impact EJB would make). > (2) The use of Javabeans is abused. Totally agree. Still does not make this pattern bad. One use is a transport mechanism for data between the application parts. Clean and easy to understand. **** Sorry for an OT post, this J2EE licensing discussion got a bit off hand. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- - Andrei (a.k.a.
