The Java Data Objects (JDO) specification for transparent persistence was recently approved as a standard through the Java Community Process. The JDO specification provides a standard way for persisting objects and is showing a great deal of promise by increasing application portability, reducing development cycle time, and improving code quality. Leveraging JDO, developers can write applications that load, store, and query objects in a data store without ever writing any back-end data store infrastructure code. In addition, we'll discuss how JDO works with EJBs and the J2EE specification.

Robin Roos' Java Data Objects book is available as a free unprintable PDF file on the SolarMetric site to registered users.
