Hi all,
just curious, did ever someone in cocoonland, except me, use the SQL-Maps and DAO-Framework from ibatis ( www.ibatis.com ). This is from where Chris borrowed the Petstore sample, that he ported to flow. And that was the simple reason why I hit upon these tools, that I use since, contently.
I never tried something similar before and since, so I can't rate it, or even compare it, with the tools you use (Hibernate OJB,..) so, comments would be very appreciated.
For training with these tools, I half backported the petstore flow sample, so that it uses flow only for controller things, but leaving all business logic under the responsibility of SQL-Maps/DAO. If there is an interest, I could finish and contribute this alternative petstore sample.

Basically it sounds interessting. But before we add support for another alternative accessing DBs in Cocoon we should discuss which alternatives *we* recommend and which not. (more on this you can find in the "Modular database component" thread)
