I agree with you - just using the jdbc-odbc bridge and possibly an

I hadn't heard of Cayenne - I'll have to check it out. How does it
compare to Hibernate?
Both tries to solve the same problem, but from different angels. It is
really easy to get started with cayenne as it has a nice GUI modeling
tool called CayenneModeler. From there you can create the mapping from
an existing database, do mapping, create data object classes and so
on. Cayenne also has a Remote Object Persistence, so the ORM can be
accessible from thick clients as well.
Most importantly, it has a really tight and nice community.
