Cool. I was confused by the comment in the source. > > The goal is to be much like ADO, but "DAO".

Agreed. I don't understand the need for this, if I already know the SQL. Nine times out of ten I will have the schema right in front of me. I just don't get the whole point of adding the extra layer in XML. I buy it if someone could show me how it saves time, but I seem like more work. For example, you do all this is Castor, you still need to provide a query. There is a neat feature in ADO.NET I like, but think is just a code generator. If you select a table in the database such as Customer, it will create a Customer class that has all the fields mapped to properties.

You mention EJB in several cases, obvious other choices could be XML, JDO, Castor or Torque such a developer so desire.
