OpenXava is a framework to develop Java Enterprise/J2EE applications rapidly and easily. It's based in business component concept. Feature rich and flexible since it's used for years to create business applications with Java.

Some new features of version 2.2.1 are:

- All data access from JUnit tests in OpenXavaTest is done using JPA instead of Hibernate.

- Added method toKeyString(Object pojo) to ModuleTestBase in order to obtain a string representation of the key of a POJO from the POJO itself.
