Hi ,
I´m working with an application that uses a flat xml file as persistence
layer. My duty is to migrate the persistance layer to an XML Database, and
xindice has been chosen. Well migration may be the wrong terminus technicus
since in the last meeting it was decided that using factory pattern the persistance
layer will be chosen between xindice DB and flat file (in the future there
might be plans to add other DB also).
Browsing the net, i found JDO, hibernate and montag, but on the first informations,
I´m not sure if they will fulfill the requirements:
JDO: ( http://www.service-architecture.com/database/articles/java_data_objects_jdo.html
)
The Java Data Objects (JDO) specification is part of the
Sun Java Community Process. JDO is a Java application program interface (API)
for transparent persistence. It works with both object and relational
databases as well as other types of systems. It is designed to also work
well with EJB and J2EE.
--> XML Database and flat files may or may not be included in "other types
of systems"
hibernate: ( http://www.hibernate.org/
)
Hibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational
persistence and query service for Java.
--> XML DB and flat files are not mentioned
Montag: ( http://montag.sourceforge.net/ )
Montag is a Java Web Services
based system for the interaction with every Native XML Database
that supplies a Java implementation of the XML:DB API.
--> apparently this works with XML DB only
Has anyone ever had a similar task and can share
his/her experience? (links to resources are also welcome)
kind regards
Thomas
