"Some helpful comments, like how aD solved the O-R problem, would be nice."

I would also be interested in hearing about this. I've been following the java development, and the proposed persistence solution seems extremely cumbersome compared to just writing sql queries. The goals for persistence seem desirable, but the object-relational mapping doesn't seem to be going well.

Maybe as an outsider, I'm just not appreciating the advantages of the new persistence scheme, but it seems to be unecessarily complex relative to the old aolserver/tcl approach.
