Blogging Roller

Roller sits on a big fat stack of software including Struts, Velocity, Hibernate (or Castor), Servlet Container, Database, and etc. When we encounter a problem, it is often deep down in the stack. Since the stack is open source, we can get the code, fix the bug, and even ship the patched jar, if we so desire. This is what Lance just did. He found that Roller had problems on HSQL-DB due to Castor's limited support of the SQL LIMIT keyword, he fixed it, and submitted a patch to the Castor folks. Now, as the guardian of the Roller Hibernate implementation, I guess I need to do the same thing for Hibernate.
