Simper is a simple JDBC persistence mechanism for Java web apps. It features many of the interesting features of EJB, such as automatic transaction demarcation (by way of Servlet Filters), and automatic change detection of database rows (by way of DynaBeans). Lastly, the notation by which you reference rows, as well as relations between tables, is extremely JSP friendly.
http://www.netmeme.org/simper/ 0.2 is not a new release (it's been out for about a month), but, a SourceForge project has been set up, with mailing lists, CVS, etc., so that others can discuss and contribute (as I am getting quite busy lately). Bryan
