"Effective enterprise OODB integration with Spring and DB4O"
Use of object databases in modern, server-side applications has to
date been the exception to the RDBMS rule. However, for applications
with complex domain models, an object database can provide an ideal
persistence mechanism, especially for the purpose of rapid prototyping.
In this session, we will integrate DB4O into a layered application
architecture using Spring. We'll avoid the overhead and complexity of
O/R mapping, but will leave the door open for integration with
relational database through pluggable and well-abstracted design.
Topics covered will include:
* Configuration of DB4O resources
* DB4O-based DAO design
* Declarative transaction demarcation
* Effective exception handling
