    Well, I'm not expecting something super-simple, but have no idea (yet)
    of the scope of such an implementation. The basic idea would be to pick
    up the ball that Apple dropped (Objective-C EOF). I've been talking to
    a few people around here (who may even be willing to help -- one guy has
    already been writing his own lightweight persistence layer) and the idea
    sounds appealing, but I'm going to need to work with the ROP stuff more
    to have a feel for what needs to be done (debuggers are your friend).

    I did look at cayenne-client and it seemed a bit bigger than I was
    expecting, but I probably wouldn't need everything at first, just the
    bare essentials to prove the concept.

    Thanks! I'll ponder some more. :-)

    Michael,

    I hope I did not exaggerated the simplicity of a potential port :-)
    Here is the thread were this was discussed:

    http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-user/2006/07/0009.html

    Also another discussion that we had in the context of rop-wsdl Summer
    of Code project can be found here:

    http://objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists/cayenne-devel/2006/07/0018.html

    This may sidetrack you though, as we were pondering possible
    alternatives to the existing stack.
