I agree. That's why I think Xroller will be important... Unfortunately, work and Xwork / Webwork 2 stuff has kept me from getting as far as I'd like with it so far... > > Btw, I notice the current xroller code in cvs is using > common-sql instead of hibernate, any reason ?

The current CVS for Hibernate 2.0 has some new Ant tasks to do the same plus build update scripts for upgrading a database between versions, etc. so I'll probably move to that when the next Beta release comes out (Beta4). If you look at the domain stuff though, it's all Hibernate, and the unit tests use Hibernates ability to create the scripts to build the database to create an in-memory HSQLDB database to test against. There's also some talk on the Hibernate list of merging their DDL generation code with Commons-SQL, so we'll have to see where that goes, too. > Regards, > Low > --- Jason Carreira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > *Sigh* That is sad.
