This is good to know.  Is the syntax-case & syntax-rules implementation now
integrated into JScheme?

This paper describes a more comprehensive solution than what I've done so
far, but it is along similar lines.  I've used a Java library called
Hibernate ( www.hibernate.org ) instead of the OJB library mentioned in the
paper.  Like OJB, Hibernate transparently maps Java business objects to a
SQL database.  Those objects are then accessible within Scheme.  I'm not
using a web presentation framework - the larger Java application in question
has a homegrown one, but the Scheme pages form a somewhat separate subsystem
at the moment.  The Scheme code interacts directly with web pages and forms,
using continuations to support a natural coding style.
