 Hmm.. okay. it isn't a large framework. but, okay.

jakarta commons does bricks not frameworks

(however, it is possible that you are actually describing something
which is an adaptive bridge brick and not technically a framework)

  +1 but don't let that discourage you :)
 
 
 jakarta isn't really accepting sub-projects any more: we're very slowly

 I was specifically referring to the Commons. Well, okay! :)

it was the language that fooled me :)

sub-projects are jakarta mini-me's with separate communities, mailing
lists and so on. apache has found that sub-projects don't scale.
components are the bricks the community happens to be working on.

but martin's right that we try to push data access related proposals
towards the db project.
