Good, thin, ORM layer

Hello List,

	I love embedded stuff. I love SQLite and I love Derby even more.  
However, I was wandering, is there any good, thin, ORM layer which is  
entailed for small applications that use Derby?

I found ActiveObjects pretty neat and I like the "conventions rather  
than configuration" philosophy. However, I think it's sometimes  
unstable though really promising.

What would you suggest? Thanks in advance,

-- Federico (trying to follow http://five.sentenc.es)

I've used BeanKeeper (http://netmind.hu/persistence/index.php) and found it 
easy to work with.

I've become quite fond of Hibernate (hibernate.org) - though I'm
firmly convinced that most of their contributors are from some
strange, distant planet.

Hi,

You can have a look at this distributed Java ORM client framework (
holchoko.org)  that is making use of JPA + Derby:
http://www.codespot.net/sessions/jazoon/2008.html

You might find this interesting and it might suit your needs although it
will very likely not satisfy your requirement in terms of being thin. I have
personally used JPA on the client side for some rapid prototyping and as a
proof of concept.

In any case and FYI,
