What is EclipseLink?
EclipseLink is a Java persistence solution and data conversion service. It provides:
- A JPA implementation (Java Persistence API) for accessing relational databases (and EIS data sources).
- And a POJO API which the JPA implementation is based on.
- A JAXB implementation (JAva XML Binding) for converting Java objects to and from XML documents.
- And a POJO API which the JAXB implementation is based on.
- An SDO implementation (Service Data Objects).
- A database web services adapter.
The original source contribution for EclipseLink came from Oracle Corporation's TopLink product.
