It's not just about Jakarta... from just a passing experience with
the two tools, I found the mapping syntax for OJB to be far, far more
comprehensible than that of Castor JDO. Plus, have you ever looked
at the source code for Castor stuff? yikes.
I had heard somewhere that the Castor project was in hibernation, or
worse... is there any truth to that? So far i've still had better
luck with Castor than Jakarta Commons Betwixt for Bean<->XML Binding,
but I like Betwixt's approach better, and figure it's only a matter
of time until the tricks to get Betwixt working sink through my
skull...

Does anyone with experience of Torque and OJB? I'd be interested in a
comparison, especially on how well OJB supports inheritance.
