[castor-user] Some general questions of castor tool

[Liu, Richard]

Hi,

  I just join this user list and I have a few general questions to ask.


  We basically look for a tool which can do xml<==>RDBMS bidirectional
mapping and code generation.  By reading castor website, it seems that
"JDO" can do most of it.

  Can anybody answer the following general questions for me?

  Thanks a lot.
