What's New in TORPEDO Version 8.25.04
-------------------------------------

The TORPEDO reference implementation now supports Oracle's Toplink.
Oracle provided the implementation.  The current version uses an untuned
native Toplink API.  In the future, support for CMP version of Toplink 
will be added.  Thank you Oracle for the contribution.

The TORPEDO reference implementation now includes the configuration files and
product specific source code for Solarmetric's Kodo JDO submission.  Thank you
Solarmetric for the contribution.

The TORPEDO reference implementation now includes the configuration files and
product specific source code for Gavin King's Hibernate submission.  The
submission required slight changes to the following two classes:
	com.middleware_company.torpedo.auction.Persistence
	com.middleware_company.torpedo.auction.AuctionServiceBean
The changes are compatible with other O/R mapping software source and
configuration files.  See the source code for those two classes for more
details.  Thank you Gavin for the contribution.

TORPEDO now includes preliminarly support for running the Oracle Application 
Server oc4j.  Recall, that the application server is used for the stateless 
session EJBs and for CMP Entity Beans. The reference implementation does
not yet support running the Oracle Application Server for CMP.

Some files and directories were rearranged in order to support more than
one application server.  Previous versions of TORPEDO only included support
for WebLogic 8.1 as an application server.

The build.xml file was restructured to support building TORPEDO without
requiring all of the supported products being installed.  The installed
products are now specified in the build.properties file. The build.xml
file detects which products are installed and creates the torpedo.jar file
for only those products.  Previously, all supported products had to be
installed in order to build TORPEDO.

The Hibernate Jar files were removed from TORPEDO.  If desired, Hibernate 
should be installed on the machine building and running TORPEDO.  This is 
the same for all supported products.

The JBuilder project file was removed.

The TORPEDO client was expanded.  It now reminds the user to restart
the application server before each test.  The results of each test are
saved in a file, named by the test.  The files are found in the results
subdirectory.  The produced files are of the right format for publishing
on the TORPEDO website at http://www.middlewareRESEARCH.com/torpedo

The USER table was renamed to the AUCTION_USER table since some databases
reserve USER.  This affected the database scripts and the various mapping
files for the O/R Mapping software.

A script for populating an Oracle database was included.

Kodo JDO was updated to version 3.1.5
Hibernate was updated to version 2.1.6
