[Hibernate] Looking for Volunteers

[Gavin K. <ga...@ap...>]

Okay, I finally have something concrete for normalized (table-per-subclass)
mappings. I went down a couple of wrong paths before I decided on the best
approach (a completely new implementation of ClassPersister).

I can save/load/update/delete instances already.

We need (in order of importance):

* SchemaExport support (and proper support in the mapping document)
* Query language integration (the hard bit)
* Support for outerjoin fetching
* Support for versioning (easy)
* support for native id-generation (not very hard)

If anyone wants to help out with any of these problems, I would very much
appreciate it.

( In particular, since Jon Lipsky understands the outerjoin fetching code,
maybe he would have a look at that stuff? )

I'm perhaps being slightly over-eager here, since I still need to rework the
map package part of this; what I've got there now is kludge. But I will do
that (and finish it) tomorrow. When I do that, it will knock the top item
off the list by side-effect and make the other items doable.

Anyway, if anyone can spare the time, please stick your hand up and I will
point in right direction....
