Java persistence: a Heretic's demonstration

Abstract

The Java world is a thriving "think tank" where the future of computing is created, a place of open-minded exploration. Nevertheless, there are taboos that the Java world seems reluctant to address. Weakly typed languages was one that has been confronted only recently, with JSR223. Object-oriented databases attract a lot of sympathy and precious little support. Everything that would stray too far away from the "canon" of Java and JavaEE is, in reality, often considered with suspicion.

In this session, we will demonstrate how Java persistence can be made even easier and much more efficient. We will show a solution that will generate further added value thanks to weakly typed languages and a seamless blend of object-oriented and relational technologies. We will also show that it fits nicely in a Java stack. But get ready: in this session, we will be flirting with heresy. We will be talking about Caché and Jalapeño.
