I'll do so.  They have a 4.0 release coming out shortly and maybe
that'll plug into jboss.

We use the multi-table mapping feature of TopLink.  The mapping that
comes with WL doesn't support those so that's a serious value add.  I'm
not sure if JAWS supports that (haven't checked yet).

Bad and terrible! :-)  TopLink can be such a pain in the butt to work
with.  Especially under CMP.

The motivation for asking my question is simple: I would rather not have
our company pay $10k for a WLS license when there's a perfectly capable
(and free) app server out there that has a large following and a lot of
momentum.  The one stumbling block is that we rely heavily on TopLink. 
Getting my PM to ditch it in favor of JAWS or some other O/R mapping
tool would be a difficult argument.  (Of course, he recently complained
about WebGain's licensing scheme and how it's now gonna be as expensive
for us to buy TopLink as it was to buy WLS!).

So, having JBoss support TopLink (or TopLink support JBoss - whatever
you want to call it) would lower the barrier to entry for us and would
really be beneficial. 

I'll get us migrated to JBoss .... eventually.... ;-)

Thanks for the response, and I'll email WebGain,
