You think fugly? It already does fugly reflection and decapitalization for the first letter just to match the accessor to a column name. Why is it any more fugly to process underscores?
I do suppose that databases that do identify case within the column name could make things a little wierd (e.g. would getThisField() translate to 'this_field' or 'thisField'?). But still I believe the SQL-92 spec is for case insensitive column names. From a perfromance standpoint, its practically no difference (all happens when the concrete class is created at deployment time). I'll try the orion-ejb-jar.xml, but I'm guessing I'm going to need to provide a complete orion-ejb-jar.xml file, not just the hierarchy required for the cmp-field-mapping fields. Theres a lot of junk in there I don't want to follow and if I'm doing quick development I will need to far more than makes sense. Which definately makes our existing persistence, caching, and coding paradigm easier to use than CMP EJB, once again seems to indicate that EJB might still not be needed for most serverside applications (still more hype and 'neat' technology than is practical in the majority of situations, IMHO). -----Original Message----- From: Hani Suleiman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 12:32 PM To: Aaron Tavistock; Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [orion-interest]EJB2.0 spec or implementation?

I don't see why you can't just do it once. Having a partial orion-ejb-jar.xml certainly does work. You just need to make sure it has sufficient information in it and is usable. Start off with a complete one and start trimming things, and check it works after every trim! Adding an automatic underscoring thing is too too fugly!
