Thanks Eric,
I will have it a look. Looks like interesting. However, a question more, for you or whoever. I would like to hear someone agreeing my suspicions that for most of O/R mapping frameworks, we need to create the object classes that map database tables by compiling code or using ant tasks. None (do not know Cayenne yet), is able to do for itself. I did get any feedback sharing my point and I wonder if I am missing something.
