JustJournal is partially back up

Last week, we did a major upgrade on the database server.
A bug introduced in the latest MySQL release has broken a
database component we used throughout the site.  This was
Sun's old CachedRowSet.
As a result, any SQL query using named parameters (something AS
somethingelse) is broken. Some queries I can remove the offending
as statement on, but others this is not possible due to ambiguity.
I've decided to take this opportunity to migrate some of the site
to an ORM called Apache Cayenne.  I've used it with several
other projects and it's quite good.  This also has a side
effect of avoiding the problem with MySQL.
Normally I would have migrated back to the previous version, but
it was a little complicated this time.  I appologize for the
down time and will continue to fix things on the site as I get a
chance. Remember, I have a day job.
