There is only one thing missing in this implementation to complete its
functionality:
It does not contain a translator from SODA Constraints to OJB queries right
now.

everything else is working.

I'm planning to have a full support for SODA. I really like Carl
Rosenbergers initiative.
For ODMG users it should be possible to use OQL, OJB Queries and SODA.
(currently OJB allows to use OQL, OJB Queries, and the (unfinished) SODA API
within ODMG applications).
For JDO users it should be possible to use JDOQL, OJB Queries and Soda.

I implemented a rough version of SODA support to show Carl that it will
quite straightforward to integrate this into OJB. I hoped that he could
write the Contraint --> Query translator.
He planned to start to work on his this in March, but I think he has not
done much in this direction.

As SODA is not in the core focus for OJB 1.0 there is currently not much
pressure to finish things soon.
As always: If someone volunteers it can be done very quickly. If no one
volunteers I will start working on it after the 1.0 release (i.e. after
June).
