I just (randomly) came across your website. Yeah, hibernate sucks.

Ok, since you do this sort of stuff, I’ll mention that I too have
just released an open-source O/R mapping tool.

I’m aware that there are many other such programs out there. But this
one is very special because it’s simple (no xml configuration !
yay) and has been well tested with multiple databases (postgres and
mysql). I’ve also used it in production enviroments so the
generated code has most bugs squeezed out by now.

If you have a minute, you can check it out at:

http://www.mollypages.org/dbo/

MollyPages also has a server-side page type thingy but with
much cleaner syntax (compared to JSP) and very easy typing
(look ma, no “shift” key for _any_ open/close tags)

I’d be quite happy if you take it for a spin and give me
some feedback, (or write an article about it).

Best regards,
