Ian, we will try our best to work with the current JPA implementation in samples and share our work back into the shindig project. I understand that you won't be back until the new year, so it would be great to address this fully once you get back.
In the meantime, if anyone else out there would be interested to work in this area, it would be most appreciated, as I'm sure both Ian and I could do with an extra helping hand (or two) :) 2008/12/10 Ian Boston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Chico, > > I am hoping to use the JPA project inside samples when I get a chance, so > patches will be very gratefully received, however you may find a number of > bugs since I haven't had time (yet) to get good unit test coverage and fix > anything. > > Obviously you could do your own persistence layer, but it would be good to > share resources. > Ian > > On 8 Dec 2008, at 17:21, chico charlesworth wrote: > > I've been spending the last few days trying to get started on integrating >> shindig with a JPA persistence layer which is based on shindig-samples.
