Exploration of Java Persistence
Abstract
Data persistence in a relational database is one of the core requirements of many applications. There are a variety of methods for implementing data persistence; however the advantages and disadvantages of persistence strategies are not always easily identifiable.
Typical introductory courses establish an understanding of relational databases. The more advanced student can find a practical application of his knowledge in variety of available open- source, persistence frameworks.
This paper explores Java data persistence within constraints that make it useable for the student researcher to use as an independent guide, or alternatively for an instructor to use as a resource for adding data persistence to coursework.
Introduction
Most computing programs offer a database principles and applications course to undergraduate students. Such a course often covers relational algebra, entity relationship diagrams, database normalization, standard query language, installation and use of relational database management systems, and use of the Java Database Connector API1.
The course often provides an introduction to basic database theory and usage. Anyone interested in learning more about data persistence often must explore it on their own initiative. This paper presents options for exploring this subject.
Selection Criteria
There are hundreds of Java-based persistence frameworks, both open-source and proprietary- source, available for experimentation and development. It can be difficult to choose which ones to work with, so the following criteria were used for selecting which technologies and frameworks to use.
• No-cost • Standards-based • Readily available documentation, books, and active user forums • Expert Recommendation • Current technology
No-Cost
