- any Java class, through the use of a proprietary API,
- entity bean classes (thanks to a specific EJB container, supporting CMP).
In both cases :
- TOPLink uses JDBC,
- the developer does not use JDBC any more.
As far as EJBs are concerned :
- the proprietary API could be used within session and/or entity beans, but I would discourage anybody to do so, for independance reasons,
- using CMP is the right way to go, with no proprietary code nor design (as far as I can see).
I hope that helps.

All,
Can someone who is using TOPLink tell me if it replaces the functionality of JDBC, or does it use JDBC? Does it result proprietary/unportable code or design?
