What do you mean by it feels a *lot* like EOF? Is it because the method calls look alike? Regarding JPA, I've observed since I started working on EOF in 2010, very few know about J2EE in this community. JPA is not a standard, it's a specification. A clever WO developer can use EOF with JPA too :) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Persistence/What_is_JPA%3F Farrukh > > Cayenne is still missing a lot of functionality when compared to EOF/Wonder > and generally feels less mature (understandably, since EOF is ancient).
