Cool.  Thanks for posting this.

I had some trouble with this - it seems that JdmError is not in the
changeset, and JdmErrorTable gets removed but is still used in
#handleError:.  I did manage to get it to work, but probably not
"properly".

I also had to add the #formFeedback accessor.

What are you using to manage your code?  Have you looked at
DVS/Monticello?

If the MySQL driver is written properly, it'll close itself when it gets
garbage collected.

I would store in the session; that's what the session is there for.  Which
I think answers both of the above questions, in a way.

I'll answer this one once I've had a change to look at the code more.
