JDO is a specific API for DAO developed as part of the Java Community Process. JDO does not have to use a relational data store, and many object/relational data stores were developed before the JDO specification. Note that the developers of Castor use the term JDO, but last I checked, they weren't developing something compliant with the JDO specification. Scott Ambler has a white paper on issues in mapping objects to relational databases, at <http://www.ambysoft.com/mappingObjects.html> It may help put the issue into context for some.
