− | =About EclipseLink=
| + | |
− | EclipseLink is an advanced, object-persistence and object-transformation framework that provides development tools and run-time capabilities that reduce development and maintenance efforts, and increase enterprise application functionality.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Using EclipseLink, you can integrate persistence and object-transformation into your application, while staying focused on your primary domain problem by taking advantage of an efficient, flexible, and field-proven solution (see [[EclipseLink/UserGuide/JPA/Introduction/Object-Persistence Impedance Mismatch|What Is the Object-Persistence Impedance Mismatch]]).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | EclipseLink is suitable for use with a wide range of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and Java application architectures (see [[EclipseLink/UserGuide/JPA/Introduction/Architecture|EclipseLink Application Architectures]]). Use EclipseLink to design, implement, deploy, and optimize an advanced, object-persistence and object-transformation layer that supports a variety of data sources and formats, including the following:
| + | |
− | * Relational–for transactional persistence of Java objects to a relational database accessed using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers.
| + | |
− | * Object-Relational Data Type–for transactional persistence of Java objects to special purpose structured data source representations optimized for storage in object-relational data type databases such as Oracle Database.
| + | |
− | * Enterprise information system (EIS)–for transactional persistence of Java objects to a nonrelational data source accessed using a Java EE Connector architecture (JCA) adapter, and any supported EIS record type, including indexed, mapped, or XML.
| + | |
− | * XML–for nontransactional, nonpersistent (in-memory) conversion between Java objects and XML Schema Document (XSD)-based XML documents using Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | EclipseLink includes support for EJB 3.0 and the Java Persistence API (JPA) in Java EE and Java SE environments including integration with a variety of application severs including:
| + | |
− | * Oracle WebLogic Server
| + | |
− | * Oracle OC4J
| + | |
− | * Glassfish
| + | |
− | * JBoss
| + | |
− | * IBM WebSphere application server
| + | |
− | * SAP NetWeaver

− | EclipseLink lets you quickly capture and define object-to-data source and object-to-data representation mappings in a flexible, efficient metadata format (see [[Introduction to EclipseLink Application Development (ELUG)#Working with EclipseLink Metadata|Working with EclipseLink Metadata]]).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The EclipseLink runtime lets your application exploit this mapping metadata with a simple session facade that provides in-depth support for data access, queries, transactions (both with and without an external transaction controller), and caching.
