Funny that you ask that.  I've started rewriting the Similarity
application, in the process moving it to JBoss.  Basically, I'm sick of
obfuscated stack traces with no useful error message from Orion.

I got a little frustrated for a bit, so for a little while I vaguely
considered ditching all the EJBs and going with a much simpler solution.
I spent a large part of yesterday researching Torque.  As a persistence
framework, I'm quite impressed with it.  For the next application I
start, I'll probably use it, maybe with EOB (http://eob.sf.net) to
provide three-tier support.

Torque is fairly mature; it has been used to implement Scarab
(http://scarab.tigris.org), so I feel fairly confident that it will
accommodate a pretty wide problem domain.  It should also perform a lot
better than an EJB solution because it's a *lot* lighter weight.

All that said, I think I'm going to stick with EJBs (and entity beans)
for Similarity, if only because I can reuse a lot of the existing
system.  But if you aren't already wedded to EJBs, I would take a good
look at Torque.
