Chapter 12. JDO
We say that error is appearance. This is false. On the contrary, appearance is always true if we confine ourselves to it. Appearance is being.
Java Data Objects (JDO) is one of the first APIs to run through the Java Community Process (JCP). JDO enables application developers to build applications without worrying about persistence issues. In other words, it does for your application the same thing EJB container-managed persistence does for EJB applications. Where EJB seeks to deliver all the features of enterprise systems development—such as a distributed component model and full and distributed transaction management—JDO seeks to provide developers with a more streamlined set of features.
JDO seeks to give applications with persistence needs the following capabilities:
Simplicity
Database independence
Performance
In other words, JDO is a database-independent persistence API that has a simple programming model designed to support the performance needs of common applications. Though EJB is database-independent, it does not have a simple programming model and performs poorly for small- to medium-scale applications.
