Hello Pivoteers, the current discussion about preferences and persistence just inspired me to pose a question:
Is there currently a possibility, or could it be made possible, to bind Entity Objects (used in a pivot application as storage for the ui) via JDBC to Rows in a Database? Without going through the web services of an application server? An ORM Framework could be used, though. Would be great for our in-house enterprise application. And another one: is it possible (there might even be a sample somewhere) to easily create a transparent web service on some "dumb" appserver, which just routes the requests via JDBC to a database? Maybe even with authentication of the database passed through (perhaps as a simple "https://login"-Webservice). No session pooling wanted, just 1:1 cookie-sessions : db-sessions. I have found http://sqlrest.sourceforge.net/ , but has anyone tried such a thing, maybe with Pivot? Apache Pivot is really great work, I'm considering the platform as a replacement for Oracle Forms in our enterprise.

I think it would be more valuable to show a "persistence" example than a "preferences" example, since you can build preferences on top of persistence. > And a last thing, to use Web Start, I have to put also a jnlp file > (and jnlp files must have the right codebase path inside them, or > there should be a servlet that handle this ...), but we need to > publish also this stuff inside the demos, if i remember well you or > Todd have done an ant task to package a webapp, right ?

You should be able to add a JSP to the demos WAR that generates a JNLP file with the correct codebase.
