I hope that Hibernate - JBoss merge will result in the best OR mapping solution available.
But I believe that there is still huge area for which Hibernate could be adopted. Any OR mapping tool is compile time tied solution (need to create data model) It is great approach in business logic area where class data makes code more readable. But there is also lot of places where thi is unnecessery to have any classes e.g in presentation layer. Best db UI tools (e.g. Delphi) use elastic datasets to bind controls to data. In this case it much more easy to add new columns to database at runtime (only configuration changes). I believe that it would be great for Hibernate develop and integrate with dataset approach. It is not OR mapping but in fact only change is that there is no mapping to class but some data container. Everthing else is the same. The best approach would be propbaly to have dual interface : dataset like and the same dataset available by proxy as class if necessery. I tried to make this by my self as extension (interfaces in persister package) by it seems that it would also require some changes in core for new proxy, so I would like to ask if You would accept changes in this direction It would be also necessery to have good dataset as standard API (maybe use JSR-000114 JDBCTM Rowset but it is difficult to apply even parts ot if) Would be there any respone for such solution ?
