I tried for the longest time to use Castor and then gave up because I kept running into bugs. A friend of mine, a system architect with many many more years of software design under his belt than I essentially told me he thought that Castor's architecture worked against certain problems ever getting solved.
I also did alot of testing with hibernate. It's a great, light-weight data access layer, but that's all it is. I really need (Interface) extent aware iterators and the like. OJB has these advanced OO features. -ryan On Fri, 2002-10-04 at 13:41, Ampie Barnard wrote: > Thanks for your answer, Ted.
