I play w/ persistence apis like some people play w/ languages. Yesterday I ran across a post about the persist project. In addition to being into orm tools, i’m super into _simple_ orm tools. The persist library certainly fits that bill. I played w/ it last night, and liked it. I still need to think about circumstances where I’ll use it though. Hibernate is deeply entrenched in many organizations where i work already and I have a pre-existing favorite library for unit test scaffolding (jdbi) which supports running ddl from a file. I find the sql file support helpful since I typically maintain all the create * statements in files in the source tree anyway for use during deployments. And given their existence it’s nice to re-use them to build and drop the tables during unit tests.
Anyway, kudos to jcamaia for a job well done.
