Software
Tree announces version 3.0 of JDX –
its flagship product for
Java Object-Relational Mapping
The company also announces a new product and pricing strategy
San Jose, California - Software Tree, Inc.
made a range of wide reaching announcements today. "The
first thing we want to announce is the availability of JDX
version 3.0,"said Damodar Periwal, the President of Software
Tree. "The latest version of JDX adds a number of new
features that make our patented OR-Mapping product the best
possible alternative on the market for intuitive and simplified
access to relational data . JDX dramatically accelerates the
development of modern object-oriented applications by eliminating
the complex task of low-level infrastructure programming in
SQL. In recognition of the sweeping changes we are making
to our product offerings, we are now calling our core OR-Mapping
technology JDXClassic. To round out the product and offer
users a range of flexibility, we are also announcing two plug-ins
for JDXClassic – JDXStudio and JDXServer," Mr. Periwal
added. "The JDXStudio module offers a GUI for designing
and configuring the mapping system. The JDXServer module offers
a runtime-mapping infrastructure for enterprise class scalability.
In order to reduce the barrier for entry, Software Tree has
decided to price JDXClassic at only $1,495 a license. JDXStudio
and JDXServer are priced equally aggressively – each
at $595 a license. Software Tree is also offering JDXCombo
which gives the user all three products for only $2,495.
JDX has been enhanced with a substantial number of major new
features including:
- JDXStudio - a GUI tool for defining/verifying OR-Mapping,
forward-engineering database schema and reverse-engineering
Java classes
- Allow inline storage of the attributes of a contained
object
- Support implicit attributes whose values are automatically
initialized by JDX based on defined relationships
- Dynamic data routing for queries
- Partial object loading
- Option to filter referenced objects for query, update
and delete operations
- Support for specifying a JNDI data source name to get
database connection
- Configurable logging destination
- Support for retrieving collection objects in a descending
order
- Comprehensive documentation with many useful working
examples
There are literally tens of other modifications added to JDX
to make it an indispensable data access component for modern
object-oriented applications – be they standalone, JSP/Servlet
based or EJB based.
JDXStudio and JDXServer are independent and optional plug-in
modules for JDXClassic. This newest version of the software
is shipping now with evaluation versions downloadable from
http://www.softwaretree.com.
"Ease-of-use, flexibility and high performance have always
been our goals in the on-going development of JDX," Mr.
Periwal continued. "By paying close attention to the
feedback from our customers we have progressively improved
JDX's oobject- rrelationalship mmapping logic. We are very
pleased to present JDXClassic, JDXServer and JDXStudio as
proof of our continued success in this endeavor.”
