There must have been a reason to create Record > over Mapper. Mapper is tied very closely to JDBC. This works for some use cases, but not for all. Record will be more flexible with plugable persistence including JDBC, JPA, XML, Goat Rodeo, etc. If you'd use Active Record in Rails, you'll like mapper. If want an ORM that's heavier on the Object part (i.e., you pine for JPA), then mapper's not going to be right for you. > > > On Jul 11, 11:16 pm, Derek Chen-Becker <[email protected]> wrote: > > Mapper will be maintained for quite a while after Record comes out, and > the > > two (at present) have similar architectures.
