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.
