The Mr. Persister ORM project has announced the release version 3.6.0. They write in, "Version 3.6.0 contains two new DAO classes. A JDBC DAO and a Map DAO. These two DAO classes can help you perform non-ORM persistence operations, like dynamic reports, and reads/updates that do no map to objects. Version 3.6.0 is the first step in moving Mr. Persister from being 'just' an ORM API to a complete persistence solution covering many other nice features than ORM."
