Software Tree Releases New Mission Critical J-Database
Exchange™ (JDX™) Product at JavaOneSM Conference
San
Jose, CA -- March 24, 1998 --A new mission critical Java™-enabled
software product for Internet / Intranet applications arrived
today. Software Tree, Inc. has released JDX 1.0,
a platform independent software product for exchanging business
objects between Java programs and SQL relational databases.
An elaborate customer application using JDX will be
demonstrated in San Francisco at JavaOne Booth #445.
The
JDX 1.0 Product:
The
J-Database Exchange (JDX) product is a high-performance and
cost-effective solution for integrating Java objects with
relational data. JDX bridges the gap between the Java object
model and the SQL relational model by providing a very natural
object-oriented interface to store and retrieve Java objects.
JDX exploits the standard JDBC™ interface to link to
various relational backend systems, including Microsoft (Nasdaq:
MSFT) SQL Server, Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) , IBM (NYSE: IBM)
DB2, Sybase (Nasdaq: SYBS), Borland (Nasdaq: BORL) Interbase,
Cloudscape JBMS and Microsoft Access.
JDX
provides a very efficient and scaleable solution to a common
need for application programmers: persistence of business
objects. JDX provides support for complex object-modeling
and for object integration with legacy data. All-Java implementation
of JDX makes it portable on every Java-enabled platform.
Founder
& CEO, Damodar Periwal states, "You don't have to
throw away the advantages of relational technology and your
legacy data in order to get the object-oriented benefits of
the Java language and platform. JDX will put the mature relational
infrastructure to excellent use for your object-oriented applications."
Periwal
has filed for a Patent covering the innovative software technologies
used in JDX. He was an inventor under original U.S. Patent
5.644.768 for work done at Borland International on Systems
and Methods for Sharing Resources in a Multi-User Environment.
JDX
Use :
Internet/Intranet
enterprise applications require distributed, object-oriented
technologies based upon open industry standards. JDX provides
the enabling infrastructure software that links relational
database sources to object-oriented Java applications. JDX
increases programmer productivity significantly because it
saves development efforts for new Java applications by automating
the tedious, time-consuming and error-prone task of object-relational
mapping logic.
