Alpha Preview 2 is released - both Cayenne core and Examples package:
http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/
What's New:
1. Container-managed Transactions and EJB Support:
This release introduces support for container-managed transactions
(configure via Modeler of course) and is the first one that works in
EJB environment out of the box and without extra tweaking. ...Not that
I suddenly started advocating using EJB... ;-) Cayenne-Examples package
contains a simple EJB/Web app project with a SessionBean facade to
Cayenne. Build scripts targets JBoss environment, but it should be easy
to port to other containers.
I am seriously interested in further improving EJB support. So it would
be nice to get feedback from people who actually work with EJB - do you
have any specific needs and ideas how to address them with O/R. We
discussed some of this with Manuel Fehlhammer some time back; looks
like its a good time to resume this discussion. What I have in mind at
the moment is to improve support for DataObjects in the DTO quality, so
the same object could be used on both client and server. E.g. a webapp
uses Cayenne directly to search for records, but uses a SessionBean to
update a given selected record.
2. MS SQL Server Adapter:
The new adapter is not much different from SybaseAdapter that we
recommended earlier, but it also tweaks a few things specific to SQL
Server.
3. Import DataMap:
CayenneModeler can now copy external DataMaps to a project. This is a
small productivity enhancement.
Enjoy
