TopLink works great. Its been around for years. i.e. bugs have been worked out , production code !! The only thing to be said against it, is that in some N.I.H. orgs. it doesn't put the level of control directly into the developers hands. Personally I find it liberating to work on the business problems and not waste everyone's time with OO to Relation mappings.
