Presentation: "Introducing Eclipse Persistence Services: The Full Monty"

Track: Solution Track

Time: Thursday 13:00 - 14:00

Location: Concordia

Abstract:

The announcement of the Eclipse Persistence Services Project signalled the inauguration of a new generation of persistence where all of the dominant persistence standards are implemented and accessible from a single source. The project, nicknamed EclipseLink, is composed of a set of runtime components that run in both clients and servers, and is the first open source project to offer a full suite of persistence technologies. By supporting all of the popular standards, including object-relational mapping using the Java Persistence API (JPA), object-to-XML mapping through the Java API for XML Binding (JAXB), and loosely bound Service Data Objects (SDO) that bridge the relational and XML worlds, EclipseLink is the most comprehensive persistence platform available. Equally compelling is the fact that these technologies are offered with a rich array of feature extensions and high-end performance options.

Attendees will learn what EclipseLink is, the standard technologies it implements, and how these technologies can be used separately or together to meet advanced and diverse application requirements. We will show examples of how to use EclipseLink to map Java objects in object-relational and object-XML contexts, and how it can be used in any runtime environment, including Java SE, Java EE, Spring and Tomcat.
