Our flagship Object-Relational Mapping (OR-Mapping) products, J-Database eXxchange (JDX) and .NET Jet Database eXchange (NJDX), provide very efficient solution to the common need for application programmers - transactional persistence(storage) of business objects in relational databases. Applications come and go, but the information about business objects needs to be recorded on a permanent storage medium so that it is available the next time a continuing or concurrent or a newly started application needs it. Examples of business objects are: quotation, purchase order, customer info, invoice, product info, pricing info, sales transaction, patient record etc.

Both JDX and NJDX provide natural object-oriented interfaces for storing and retrieving objects using relational databases. In most cases, JDX and NJDX will save about 30-70% of the development cost for typical new applications by automating the tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone task of writing low-level data integration code. Application developers can focus their efforts on business logic, rather than being overwhelmed by writing and maintaining endless lines of complicated JDBC/ADO.NET/SQL code for object persistence.

JDX and NJDX provide support for complex object-modeling including class hierarchies. They allow integration with legacy data to leverage existing investment.

JDX and NJDX don't modify your application source files - all object relational mapping happens in a separate layer. Consequently your application becomes data independent because the same application can work against different backend databases without any modifications! In fact, the object-relational mapping specification may be shared between independent applications. This provides a welcome relief from the proliferation of the complex object-relational mapping code.

JDX itself is written in 100% pure Java, making it portable to every Java-enabled platform.

NJDX has been tightly integrated with Visual Studio .NET and can be used with any CLR-based language including C#, VB.NET, and J#.

JDX and NJDX software are protected by US Patent 6,163,776 (System and method for exchanging data and commands between an object oriented system and relational system).
