Yep, my app is using Hibernate/Hsql DB as an embedded EOF/Oracle replacement :)
Hsql DB rocks. It's mature and fast. Hibernate is younger but so far it performs as advertised. It's much simpler than EOF, there is no notion of a full bore EditingContext-- it's closer to TopLinks notion of a "UnitOfWork", but even simpler than that. The query language is much less OO than EOQualifiers/Expression etc, but it's also much more expressive. There are some potential issues with the Hibernate inheritance model-- it only supports vertical (single table) inheritance, not horizontal. But the nice thing about Hibernate is that it is *truly* transparent persistence (unlike EOF). Your EOs know absolutely nothing about the persistence layer. So I want to see how far I can get with it. I looked at Castor jdo but decided I didn't like the project. The project seems to be emphasizing XML binding recently and all of the Castor developers work for a single company (not a good sign). I'm certainly willing to take a look at Cayenne. Mind you, I'm only doing very simple things so far with Hibernate.
