Thanks Nicolas,

Actually I'm not sure whether we have any tutorials for GDL2 yet.  In 
fact, GDL2 still needs quite a bit of development.  If you want to use 
it to interface with UI components, then you could try using 
http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/software/MulleEOInterface/ as the 
EOInterface replacement, as we only have EOAccess and EOControl at the 
moment. (I know some have tried but there are definitely still issues. 
For some I still need to verify some patches I haven't committed yet.)

If you're new to EOF concepts then I guess the best place to start is:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/WebObjects/Enterprise_Objects/index.html
but take into account that GDL2 is aiming to be compatible with EOF 4.5
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.5/webobjects.html

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
David
