yes. My RDFHibernate library [1] works with interfaces that map onto
an RDF database using dynamic proxies."
It's listed under Java Distributed Data Acquisition and Control but does not seem available - except for the Subversion repository.
Henry Story just announced a new project which also has Hibernate overtones, Sommer "Sommer is a very simple library for mapping Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) to RDF graphs and back. Sommer stands for Semantic Object (Metadata) Mapper. In German it also means "summer", the season opposite to winter, when animals no longer hibernate. In French a "somme" is both the sum of things as well as a little rest."

Looks like RDF Beans has already been done ;)
Sommer looks pretty good. We could always look into writing a JRDF adapter if need be.
Well you can't own a good idea! :-)
So yeah I think Henry has used Sesame before - adapting it to JRDF would be quite straight forward.
