"NJDX
is an amazingly simple and intuitive OR-Mapper. I'm extremely impressed with just about every facet
of it.
NJDX is powerful, flexible, easy-to-use, performant, reliable, and
most importantly, it fits seamlessly into any architectural model.
And few times in my career have I seen such a committed and passionate
group of professionals. There is no detail too small for them to address
if it means building an excellent product and putting a smile on their
customer's faces. "

"NJDX allows me to focus on the business objects rather than on the low level SQL.
it allows me to rapdily experiment with different variations of the database design
with a minimum amount of work.
I designed my Corporate Tax application without even inspecting the underlying
SQL Column types. I did not have to worry about correct conversions from SQL
column types to C# types in the C# Business object class. NJDX handled all of
that behind the scenes.
NJDX is working great in my ASP.NET 2.0 Web app along with the new ObjectDataSource binding
the web controls to C# Business Objects. NJDX Resource Handling Pooling makes this efficient to do."

"JDX 4.0
accelerated the development of our web-based J2EE applications that
provide access and management of student information for the graduate
business school. JDX simplified
the rapid evolution of our application design by easily facilitating
the mapping and database schema changes. JDX4.0 has met our performance
expectations very well."
Kevin Leitch
Java System Architect
"The reverse-engineering capabilities of JDX really set it apart from the others."

"Persistence
of business objects using relational databases is an important
requirement of modern object-oriented applications.However,
achieving that persistence with direct SQL/JDBC code is
a complex, time-consuming and error-prone exercise. JDX
simplifies this process by exposing a more intuitive object-oriented
view of the relational data resulting in tremendous increase
in programmer productivity."
JP Morgenthal
President, NC.Focus (an e-commerce and data management advisory
firm)

"JDX is an excellent object/relational mapping
tool that applies JDBC methods over Java objects, thus saving
developers months of work. This is a unique combination
in the field of o/r mapping tools."

"I
can now run my full application, without changing or recompiling
any source code, on top of Oracle Lite 3.0, Harmonia 1.5.2,
or Cloudscape JBMS 1.1.1. In fact, I can run all three at
once, if I like."
"I
got my CORBA server up with JDX and Harmonia. I also moved
it to Solaris (database and all) and ran without any recompilation
or reloading. The CORBA server works perfectly."
"Interesting.
So I can easily create two different classes from the same
table that have lightly different attributes, or use them
a little differently. This is exactly what we need in one
of our applications."
"I'm
more impressed with the power and depth of your software
every day."
"I
did a little optimizing, including using the JPP package
from Sun. The server now runs with adequate performance
on my Pentium 133. Actually, it is working very well."
"I've
enjoyed your courteous and prompt responses to my many questions"

JDX object-relational mapping vocabulary is very comprehensive.
We've not encountered situations where the OR grammar was
not able to handle. Our software's object model uses a fair
bit of inheritance with different specializations. And JDX
was able to address the object mapping quite nicely. We've
tried Oracle but couldn't achieve what we've achieved with
JDX.
JDX
is able to persist the object-relational mapping model into
a text file.By editing the text file, we can easily and
quickly make changes to the object-relational mapping. This
is really a handy feature during development period when
things are more fluid and unstable.
We like
the feature in JDX where we can choose to delay the instantiation
of object attributes via the shallow and deep control flags.
With this feature, we are able to shave-off unnecessary
object instantiation which improves our software performance
greatly.
The
pre-update and post-select hooks in JDX are another handy
and powerful feature in JDX. You can easily add in your
own data massaging logic which can be difficult to achieve
at the RDBMS level.

JDX has saved us a lot of time in developing our workflow
system because we did not have to implement the mapping
between java classes and database structures from scratch
using complex JDBC. The object relational mapping grammar
allows us to control the mapping quite easily.

"JDX enables us to take advantage of JDBC without having
to code to the JDBC API. This has accelerated our project
development and time to market. I did not encounter any
modeling or query requirements in our complex application
for which JDX did not have a solution."
Lubos Hartman
Software Architect for J2EE, Unicorn, Czech Republic
"JDX is a top-tier OR-Mapping technology. Simple definition of
the mapping in the text form is very innovative, powerful and interesting."
Scott
Opitz
President, IntelliFrame Corporation
"100% Java compliance, developer
productivity gains and enterprise scalability were key factors
in our decision to use JDX for database to object mapping.
The success of our vertical market solutions and our 100%
Java-based workflow engine, report generator and GUI repository
services required a high-quality solution like JDX to provide
efficient access to our customers' underlying database servers."
Alex
Elkin
VP of Engineering, IntelliFrame Corporation
"We have evaluated a number of
products and decided to standardize on JDX. It combines
the power of the database-to-Java mapping tool with the
simplicity and flexibility of a well-designed product
!."
"We are very impressed with JDX.
In building a large-scale Java application, the object-oriented
access to DBMS, eliminating the need of SQL code, is extremely
important."
"JDX
gave a jump-start to our application development project."
Niranjan
Joshi
Java Consultant
"Personally I find JDX to be the
best among all that is existing out there. I have already
evaluated it on the local system and its performance is
excellent."
Kevin Leitch
Java System Architect
"Of all the commercial products I evaluated,
JDX was the best fit for our needs. Since we mainly work with legacy systems,
the reverse-engineering capabilities of JDX really set it apart
from the others."
Chris
Mueller
Java Development Consultant
"JDX offers an elegant solution
to the problem of mapping relation databases to objects
for the purpose of persistence. The API is simple to understand
and seem to provide the base set of functionality necessary
to write usable software."
"The utilities provided for generating
empty databases and objects from existing databases free
up the developer from doing a lot of tedious work by hand
and should speed up the design and early development parts
of the development process."

"I wish we had known about JDX
before getting too deep into our own home-grown mess of
the complex object-relational mapping code."

"We
could not have finished our project in time without JDX.'
Mathias Hehn

"I'm very happy about JDX making
the race. It was almost embarrassing to see what handicaps
all other products have."
