I sadly use J2EE every day for work and find it lots of work to get it to do 
things. Perhaps my mind is too small for J2EE. However, I personally really 
like the idea of something like JDO. I think you can achieve something like 
JDO (effectively OR mapping) and have some nice tools to help manage your 
persistence mappings without the need for an app server though. I am 
currently experimenting with something along these lines, and having a blast 
doing it too :)
