Not to mention that it's more static, and somewhat less useful than the CocoBaseLite product that SunSoft licensed from us, and that we sell for $150. And our CocoBase family can actually get your code to more than just RDBMS systems, including mainframe data, etc. For what you get, JavaBlend seems overpriced to me at virtually any price. ODMG static bindings which bind you to a single specific database source in java are VERY non-java like, and highly non-portable between databases and heterogeneous data sources. It costs to much for the light weight developer, and does to little for the enterprise developer...

Just my $.02
