I know that it is not much fun to do it this early in the life of a
backend, but please try to write some tests. I will probably be annoying
but you will get payoffs very quickly and thinking about how to test
something (ideally before you start coding) helps you understand the
upcoming tasks.

Can't really comment on the technical quality of your checkin since I
don't know any Java (nor much of the ootypesystem, for that matter :-).
