Exploring Spring ORM, From JDO to JSR220
Spring provides dedicated support for many popular O/R Mapping solutions, out-of-the-box with the core distribution, namely: JDO, Hibernate, Oracle TopLink, Apache OJB, iBATIS SQL Maps, and - as the most recent addition - JSR220 persistence, also known as EJB3 persistence.
This session will explore the entire range of supported O/R Mapping solutions, elaborating their various differentiators in approach and API. We will illustrate how to integrate each of them into a Spring environment.
The main focus will be on key strenghts and discriminators of the respective O/R Mapping approaches rather than on details of a particular tool. Furthermore, we will highlight the consistency of Spring's support across diverse O/R Mapping tools.
