I would just love to kick out beanutils :->

I'm just starting with Hibernate, and well, the concept of using Dynabeans appeals to me. I'm seriously considering it.

I came from an environment that took the opposite approach of hibernate:


Everything used a database object
it contained a set of table objects
which contained Record objects
which contained Field Objects

This basically meant we didn't need getters or setters on the backend. I practically resent their presence to be honest!

I'm trying to find some way to do that with hibernate. Any chance?

Gavin,

Why not start a similar vote on the OMDG support? I guess hardly anyone is using that either, and it's a bit of a nuisance to need to have the omdg.jar for execution even if you don't use the ODMG API at all. Not a criticial issue at all, but for cleanup purposes... :-)

It definitely makes sense to reduce Hibernate's third-party dependencies. Ideally, one should be able to execute with hibernate2.jar, dom4j.jar, commons-logging.jar. commons-beanutils seems to be virtually gone -- what about commons-collections and commons-lang?

Ummm ... maybe .... but the odmg dependency doesn't offend me so much .... its just a bunch of interfaces, and the jar is VERY small.

Me too would like a distribution as clean and small as possible. In my head, odmg should be removed.
