Craig,
The introduction's preamble reads:
Currently, aside from JDO, there are three Java standards for
storing Java data persistently: serial-
ization, JDBC, and Enterprise JavaBeans. Serialization preserves
relationships among a graph of
Java objects, but does not support sharing among multiple users.
JDBC requires the user to explic-
itly manage the values of fields and map them into relational
database tables. Enterprise JavaBeans
require a container in which to run.
There's no mention of JPA here; I imagine there should be, as it is
indeed a fourth standard. Perhaps it's out of scope or
inappropriate, but it would be nice to see the spec 'officially'
address the relationship between these two increasingly similar
standards.
Thanks,
- Chris Beams
