This project has been retired for quite some time.

Tornado/DB is an object/relational mapper. I wrote it about the same time as when Hibernate was being developed. I was also developing XPlanner at that time and I decided to focus on that project instead. Tornado/DB has some interesting features and has been used in a production environment for years. Some of the interesting features include a very small footprint (about 70 kb JAR file) and support for persistent bean event listeners. When a persistent bean event is triggered, the listeners are automatically loaded and invoked. Configuration is in XML, similar to Hibernate.

Hibernate definitely has more features, but it’s also much larger. More information on Tornado/DB can be found at the project site.
