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

{{No footnotes|date=June 2010}}

'''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 persistence services to the [[___domain model]]. JDO persistent objects are ordinary [[Java (programming language)|Java programming language]] [[class (computer science)|classes]] ([[Plain Oldold Java Objectobject|POJOs]]); there 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, 2006. JDO 2.1 was completed in Feb 2008, developed by the [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 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 vs. EJB3 vs. JPA ==

[[Enterprise JavaBeans]] 3.0 (EJB3) specification also covered persistence, as had EJB v2 with [[Entity Bean]]s. There have 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 was 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''' require an EJB container, and thus will work within a Java SE environment as well, as JDO always has. JPA, however, is an [[object-relational mapping]] (ORM) standard, while JDO is both an object-relational mapping standard and a transparent object persistence standard. JDO, 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).

Line 20 ⟶ 21:

* Standardized ORM mapping descriptors (for ORM-based JDO implementations)

* JDOQL Enhancements (Single String Form; more String, Map & Math methods support mandated)

* Get e.g. a {{Javadoc:SE|java/sql|Connection|module=java.sql}} from <code>javax.jdo.PersistenceManager</code>

* More: Named Queries (pm.newNamedQuery), FetchPlan, Sequence, Delete by Query, multiple User Objects on PM

Line 29 ⟶ 30:

* JDO 2.1 : JPOX 1.2

* JDO 2.2 : [[DataNucleus]] AccessPlatform 1.0.1

* JDO 3.0 : [[DataNucleus]] AccessPlatform 2.1.0

* JDO 3.1 : [[DataNucleus]] AccessPlatform 3.2.0

* JDO 3.2 : [[DataNucleus]] AccessPlatform 5.2.0
