I don't want to sound like I particularly love the orm pattern when I say this... But his information is about 10 years out of date. Many of the claims simply aren't true anymore or the world has moved past by other means. For instance one of his very specific claims, getters setters must be present, definitely is not true for current versions of every JPA implementation. In the claim about a default noop constructor, you can't possibly be serious unless you are doing true oop and in that case you are awarded no points and may god have mercy on your soul. The beauty of dependency injection is it did more to make Java a functional language than Java8 with lambda notations. That pretty much eliminates the need for pure OOP, which JPA attempts to imitate. In reality JPA + JTA is a pretty awesome combination and avoids the stupid OOP paradigm. Again. Argh. I would write a response blogpost, but argh, apathy for the orm pattern.
