I'm doing some experiments with the
Java Persistence API (JPA) and
Netbeans 6.1 in order to realize a subscription web module for our
JUG.
Just a quick note... the integration is very good... I'm able to create entities, relationships and schema on the fly with just a few clicks.
Also the persistent mechanism of the API is really simple to understand and use.
I've always been a huge fan of
iBATIS but JPA & Netbeans are really a great duo (at least for simple projects like this).
