None, that I can see:

public class UserTable extends UserTableBase {

// snip

  public User ensure(String name, String title, String tel, 
                     String email) {
    User p = (User)getNameColumn().firstWhereEq(name);
    if (p == null) {
      p = (User)newPersistent();
      p.setLogin(name);
      p.setName(name);
      p.setPassword(name);
      p.setTitle(title);
      p.setTel(tel);
      p.setEmail(email);
      p.makePersistent();
    }
    return p;
  }

}



hope this helps. 

I am still actively developing Melati, hope to have a new release out 
soon, the current CVS version supports more dbs and has an application 
(non-servlet) API. 

I have just revisited the MelatiBoards  which work slightly better and have a 
working nntp server.

I am very interested in you views on Melati, I think it is great and have not 
enjoyed or found equal the more popular objects over jdbc solutions around.
