Hi, from the commons-dbutils HomePage there is a statement:
+----------------------------------+ DbUtils is not: * An Object/Relational bridge - there are plenty of good O/R tools already. DbUtils is for developers looking to use JDBC without all the mundane pieces. * A Data Access Object (DAO) framework - DbUtils can be used to build a DAO framework though. * An object oriented abstraction of general database objects like a Table, Column, or PrimaryKey. * A heavyweight framework of any kind - the goal here is to be a straightforward and easy to use JDBC helper library. +----------------------------------+ So I'd interpret that there shouldn't be any plan of supporting JPA annotations - if you're looking for an Apache solution for JPA, have a look at Apache OpenJPA[1]. Hope that helps, have a nice day! -Simo [1] http://openjpa.apache.org/ http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 2:52 PM, William Speirs <[email protected]> wrote: > No, JPA hasn't been added to DbUtils in any way.
