> on identity for these "value beans" - was it just to insane or ? :) I think we need to maintain a strict distinction between "value types" and "entity types". These value beans shouldn't have any notion of identity because they are of value type. Besides, you can probably do almost everything you need by simply using a "select distinct". > Or > is option 2 just about keeping the old cirrus.hibernate > prefix for those interfaces ?

I must admit I don't really find the whole RowSet notion particularly compelling to begin with and I certainly don't know how it would work out in the context of OR mapping where the underlying data model is *much* more complex than a table of simple values. Perhaps you could give an example of code that uses a RowSet in an O/R mapping context and some hints as to the semantics of something like CachedRowSet..... ********** CAUTION - Disclaimer ********** This message may contain privileged and confidential information.
