LOL.  A whipper-snapper!  Dammit - I'm only 36!  Why do I feel so old...

Thanks for the information, Christian!

I'm just too young to know this, in the mid 90's I was only 10 years old. :)

Toplink is one of the oldest O/R Mapping systems in production, and
dates back to the mid-90's.  It was purchased by Oracle, and was used
to make their reference JPA implementation.  In fact, Oracle's
advocacy in the JPA standard was substantially influenced by Toplink.
Toplink, in the good-old-days, competed (in some ways) with the
Enterprise Object Framework from NeXTSTEP, became part of WebObjects,
and is still at the root of some of the Core Data stuff. Toplink is a
lot of things, but isn't a project made to provide JPA integration.
It's partly the other way around.

cheers,
Christian.

After
seraching a little, I read somewere that toplink was a project made to
provide an easy JPA implementation, so that is the reason.
