Apache Cayenne is a persistence framework that provides object-relational mapping (ORM) and remoting services. It has a wealth of unique and powerful features and can address a wide range of persistence needs. Cayenne seamlessly binds one or more database schemas directly to Java objects, managing atomic commit and rollbacks, SQL generation, joins, sequences, and more. With Cayenne's Remote Object Persistence, those Java objects can even be persisted out to clients via Web Services. With native XML serialization, objects can be even further persisted to non-Java clients.

Changes:
This milestone release adds some exciting new features, including enhancements to the Cayenne modeler for lifecycle listeners and callbacks and the ability to merge changes to the model back to the database, extensive new work toward full JPA compliance, updates to cgen and the templates, and much more. This release requires Java 5 as a minimum. Generics are only partially completed in the public API at this time.
