Java Data Objects: An Initial Tour
Overview Java is a language that defines a runtime environment in which user-defined classes execute. Instances of these user-defined classes may represent real-world data that is stored in a database, filesystem, or mainframe transaction processing system. Additionally, small-footprint environments often require a means of managing persistent data in local storage. Because data-access techniques are different for each type of data source, accessing the data presents a challenge to application developers, who need to use a different Application Programming Interface (API) for each type of data source. This means that one needs to know at least two languages to develop business logic for these data sources: the Java programming language and the specialized data-access language required by the data source.
