Re: [Hibernate-devel] Any thoughts in implementing the JDO api...

[Gavin_King/Cirrus%<CI...@ci...>]

I have been wondering about this. I don't see any need unless/until we
actually see JDO adopted on a large scale. JDO's API is quite bloated
in my opinion. However, when/if it does become the dominant persistence
API for Java, I don't see any real problem implementing a compatibility
layer. Of course, hibernate can never be an actual JDO solution since
JDO specifies an implementation as well as an API (crazy IMO) and
hibernate does not conform to that. (The JDO spec requires
implementations to do bytecode or sourcecode preprocessing.)
