administration, and Kerberos is the only game in town. Microsoft,

1880. |  By: David Jordan; Craig Russell Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 22-APR-2003 Insert Date: 05-AUG-2003 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Java Data Objects
Java Data Objects revolutionizes the way Java developers interact
with databases and other datastores. JDO allows you to store and
retrieve objects in a way that's natural to Java programmers.
Instead of working with JDBC or EJB's container-managed
persistence, you work directly with your Java objects. You don't
have to copy data to and from database tables or issue SELECTs to
perform queries: your JDO implementation takes care of persistence
behind-the-scenes, and you make queries based on the fields of your
Java objects, using normal Java syntax.
The result is software that is truly...
