Logging in Jaybird can be pretty tricky

Well, I am not 100% sure about the inner-workings of Hibernate, but JDBC
(and therefor Jaybird) do provide ways to query about features and
limitations. However the main problem is the the Hibernate
FirebirdDialect is limited, which probably causes Hibernate to choke on
generating the database queries.

I have no idea what you mean with this. JAMonAPI is for monitoring
application performance.

That would really be something that is out of scope for me.

It already has. That is what those .hbm.xml files are for. You can
create a specific file for you database with other table and/or columnnames.

However awfully bad JayBird might be, i think it SHOULD NOT affect pure-HSQLDB connectivity. And if it did - something is wrong in modularity in the app/libs themselves.

We don't specifically test for compatibility with applications when
testing Jaybird.
