Java Persistence for Relational Databases is chock full of best practices and patterns, for those of you who want to connect to databases using Java! Coverage includes various database-related APIs for Java, like JDO, JDBC (including the newest 3.0 APIs), and CMP (“Container Managed Persistence” with EJB).
All those things you developers have wanted to know—but were afraid to ask—are featured inside this book. It offers a realistic and multi-angled look at persisting Java objects. Whether your environment requires you to use JDO, CMP, Castor, or to hand-code a persistence layer using JDBC, the answers all lie inside this book.
