Hey Eric,
As we discussed before, I will be looking into integration of Cayenne with
Spring. I think we are way ahead of Hibernate as far as handling of user
session issues, so it should be trivial for us to do that.
From my limited experience with Spring, I like it to play a role of a
central integration point for various frameworks used in my applications,
so Cayenne should naturally fit there.
