#214 JPA for data tab provider

[Javier Paniza]

Currently the tab data, that is the data for the list and collections, is obtained using pure JDBC.
It would be interesting to create a JPATabProvider, in this way we could:
- Using all inheritance mapping strategies:

- Going against not-relational database, using DataNucleus, for example.
- Solving some bugs related to the current JDBC implementation, like this one:

Hi Alexander,

> But when?
Good question! I want to add it to OX soon. We have two options in order to implement this feauture:
1. To find a volunteer that code it and contribute it to OX, or well...
2. ...that OX business model starts to work in order the core OX developer could dedicate more time to non-final-customer asked features.

I'm very optimisc and I think that the two options are very feasible, so we'll have this feature in OX in the future.
