From my personal research, it appears that OData implementations depend extensively on MS Entity framework. It would seem possible to implement the OData producer protocol using an open ORM like NHibernate in C# or Hibernate in Java.
In the best of all worlds, it would be cool to expose data using OData protocol from Oracle. I am open to other open solutions like Java, JRuby, etc.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Actually Entity Framework is just one of the providers (although the easiest one to start with). You can definitely use NHibernate and I’ve seen lot of people do that. There are still some dark corners, but for the most part this works just fine.
You can also write your own provider (which is lot of work though), for this see the OData Provider Toolkist at http://www.odata.org/developers/odata-sdk.
Last week Oracle also announced that they will release an official Oracle provider for Entity Framework, so using that you can use the EF as the OData provider.
