{{Short description|Specification of Java object persistence}}

'''Java Data Objects''' ('''JDO''') is a specification of [[Java platform|Java]] [[object (computer science)|object]] [[persistence]]. One of its features is a transparency of the persistent services to the [[___domain model]]. JDO persistent objects are ordinary [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]] [[class (computer science)|classes]]; there's no requirement for them to implement certain [[interface (Java)|interfaces]] or extend from special classes. JDO 1.0 was developed under the [[Java Community Process]] as [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=12 JSR 12]. JDO 2.0 was developed under [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=243 JSR 243] and was released on [[May 10|May 10th]], [[2006]].

'''Java Data Objects''' ('''JDO''') is a specification of [[Java platform|Java]] [[object (computer science)|object]] [[Persistence (computer science)|persistence]]. One of its features is a transparency of the persistentpersistence services to the [[___domain model]]. JDO persistent objects are ordinary [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]] [[class (computer science)|classes]] ([[Plain old Java object|POJOs]]); there's is no requirement for them to implement certain [[interface (Java)|interfaces]] or extend from special classes. JDO 1.0 was developed under the [[Java Community Process]] as [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=12 JSR 12]. JDO 2.0 was developed under [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=243 JSR 243] and was released on [[May 10|May, 10th]]2006. JDO 2.1 was completed in Feb 2008, developed by the [[2006]http://db.apache.org/jdo/ Apache JDO] project. JDO 2.2 was released in October 2008. JDO 3.0 was released in April 2010.

Object A persistence is defined in the external [[XML]] metafiles, which may have vendor-specific extensions. JDO vendors provide developers with ''enhancers'', which modify compiled Java class files so they can be transparently persisted. (Note that byte-code enhancement is not mandated by the JDO specification, although it is the commonly used mechanism for implementing the JDO specification's requirements.) Currently, JDO vendors offer several options for persistence, e.g. to [[Relational database|RDBMS]], to [[Object database|OODB]], or to [[Computer file|files]].

JDO enhanced classes are portable across different vendors' implementation. Once enhanced, a Java class can be used with any vendor's JDO product.

JDO is integrated with [[Java Platform, Enterprise Edition|Java EE]] in several ways. First of all, the vendor implementation may be provided as a {{clarify-span|JEE Connector|date=October 2012}}. Secondly, JDO may work in the context of JEE [[Java transaction service|transaction services]].

== JDO vs. EJB3 vs. JPA ==

[[Enterprise Java BeansJavaBeans]] 3.0 (EJB3) specification also covered persistence, as had EJB v2 with [[Entity BeansBean]]s. There hashave been standards conflictconflicts between the two standards bodies in terms of pre-eminence. JDO has several commercial implementations.

In the end, persistence has been "broken out" of "EJB3 Core", and a new standard formed, the [[Java Persistence API]] (JPA). JPA uses the <code>javax.persistence</code> package, and iswas first specified in a separate document within the EJB3 spec [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=220 JSR 220], but was later moved to its own spec [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=317 JSR 317]. Significantly, <code>javax.persistence</code> will NOT'''not''' require an EJB container, and thus will work within a Java SE environment as well, as JDO always has. JPA, however, is an [[Objectobject-relational mapping]] (ORM) standard, notwhile JDO is both an object-relational mapping standard and a transparent object persistence standard like. JDO, which from an API point of view, is agnostic to the technology of the underlying datastore, whereas JPA is targeted to RDBMS datastores (although there are several JPA providers that support access to non-relational datastores through the JPA API, such as DataNucleus and ObjectDB).

[[Enterprise Java Beans]] 3.0 (EJB3) specification also covered persistence, as had EJB v2 with Entity Beans. There has been standards conflict between the two standards bodies in terms of pre-eminence. JDO has several commercial implementations.

Leading JDO commercial implementations and open source projects willalso and some already are offeringoffer a JPA API implementation as an alternative access to their underlying persistence engines, formerly exposed solely via JDO only in the original products. There are many open source implementations of JDO.
