Please excuse the off topic of this, but I am looking for community interest in a new persistence engine. I've floated the idea to the incubator list and it was suggested that getting some more ASF community interest would be a benefit before being accepted for incubation.
The project is called Chameleon and it is a general persistence engine. It can do O/R mapping, but that is only part of its capabilities. More details can be found at: http://www.bull-enterprises.com/aom/persistence/index.html which has some rational, why and how it is different than the typical O/R tool, some samples, etc. The docs there are a work in progress, so they may not be complete in some areas. The current state of the project is that it is being used in one production application, and has gone a bit of a refactor after that app went in to production. The basics are in place with basic O/R capabilities. It still needs the XML, remote servers, web services, and bunch of other stuff done (there is a roadmap on the site listed). As stated on the site, the goal is not to become another O/R tool, but to expand persistence capabilities beyond persisting business objects to relational databases. There are currently two other developers who have expressed interest in contibuting once it is accepted (assuming it gets accepted that is :-) I'll be happy to answer any questions of course...
