| The VBSF Object-Relational Framework |
| The Visual Business Sight Framework ™ (VBSF) is an object-relational
Java framework that allows Java objects to be easily saved and retrieved from relational
databases. Although Java is truly an object-oriented language, applications that access
relational databases must deal with tables, rows, and columns. This forces a developer to
work with two different models, an object model and a relational model. Developers must
write tedious routines that convert rows and columns into Java objects. This is known as
the impedance mismatch between Java objects
and relational databases. VBSF contains an object-relational mapping engine that
automatically implements object persistence
to relational databases, allowing a
programmer to forget about JDBC and stay focused on the object model. The VBSF O/R mapping tool supports local objects in a single user or client/server configuration, as well as distributed business objects in a multiple tier architecture or in an application server. Local objects are fully scaleable to a multi-tier configuration with no source code changes. Applications communicate only with the VBSF middleware layer without worrying about database issues. VBSF can automatically convert persistent object graphs to XML and update persistent object graphs from XML documents. VBSF can act as a conversion tool between XML and a SQL database. VBSF supports the JDO (Java Data Objects) specification API for object persistence operations. It is written in 100% Java and supports any relational databases that can be accessed via a JDBC database driver. See our product information page for additional information. |
