I dont think there is really a plan to "integrate" torque and ojb - they are
both quite different approaches to similar problems.

However, I think there are a few efforts to consolidate duplicated
functionality, and also to make moving from one to another easier.

First are the OJB targets in torque - these use a torque schema.xml to
generate a baseline ojb repository.xml and object model classes. These
actually work pretty well, I was able to use them to fairly quickly convert
a small test app with 5 persistent object classes to OJB in just a few
hours.

The "conversion" is not perfect, but it is a good head start - I think it
would have taken me a few days to code all of that by hand.

There is also the jakarta-comons-sandbox-sql project, which aims to do all
of the database/dml type stuff. It is heavily based on the Torque schema.xml
and generation code, though it is aimed at being more generic. This project
could eventually replace this functionality in both torque and OJB.
