Ok, so next question: what are the alternatives to Direct2Web (I suspect that D2W won't work with Cayenne) and ERRest? Sure, some REST frameworks like RestEasy exists in the J2EE world, but would they will create and filter CayenneDataObject objects? This is what I like a lot about ERRest, it do a lot of work for us.
