Hi, I have created a tiny ORM layer that I would like to get some feedback on:

http://rupy.se/synapse.zip

It doesn't use reflection but generates classes instead. It might not be as complete as Hibernate, but it boasts some pretty funky features that I don't think even Hibernate has.

If you know of any other ORM projects that use 'generation time' mapping; please point me in their direction.

I hope it is ok with the hibernate guys that I post this here, othervise just remove the post.

Cheers,

What are the features?


Farzad-

Well, it has a simple graphical "drag'n drop" style editor, where you design your data structure.

It supports:

- Oracle and MySQL.
- Insert, Update, Delete and Select on Entities and Relations.

Relations are many-to-many tables, with illimited number of cross table relations and metadata (relation specific) columns; which I doubt Hibernate handles gracefully.

I have also started looking at complex objects, so that you can integrate against the persistence layer with more or less data than contained in the database. You can already stream objects as binary and packets as XML.

Take a look!

Here is a screenshot of the editor, all feedback is welcomed!
