That's what I was hoping. I have extensive caching stuff ready to drop in on the UI anyway so that should sort out the worst bits.

I'd like to hear peoples experience of either.... it seems to be a decision bewteen XML mapping, or reverse engineering a database schema.

Being a Java guy, I've used the Java version of Hibernate. I tend to use it in conjunction with http://www.andromda.org/ (for which there's a version for .NET). That way it becomes less complicated to use - and less tedious in that there's no need to write all the niggly value objects or XML files.

Hibernate a great tool and is very mature on the Java side of things. Not sure about the .NET as I've never written a line of .NET code...
