Summary
As you can see, a large portion of an application can be written in a completely JDO-independent manner using conventional Java modeling, syntax, and programming techniques. You can define your application’s persistent information model solely in terms of a Java object model. Once you access instances from the datastore via an extent or query, your software looks no different from any other Java software that accesses instances in memory. You do not need to learn any other data model or access language like SQL. You do not need to figure out how to provide a mapping of your data between a database representation and an in-memory object representation. You can fully exploit the object-oriented capabilities of Java without any limitation. This includes use of inheritance and polymorphism, which are not possible using technologies like JDBC and the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) architecture. In addition, you can develop an application using an object model with much less software than when using competitive architectures. Plain, ordinary Java objects can be stored in a datastore and accessed in a transparent manner. JDO provides a very easy-to-learn and productive environment to build Java applications that manage persistent data.
