Java: Another Open Source Java ORM Tool
By admin on Apr 26, 2009 in Java, open source
Ebean is an open source (LGPL license) Java Object Relational Mapping tool. It uses JPA Annotations (@entity, @OneToMany …) for mapping. It provides a simple API for fetching and saving object graphs.
It’s goal is to provide a simpler alternative to JPA (Java Persistence API) implementations
such as Hibernate and Toplink.
It does this by providing a “sessionless” API and a simpler query language.
That means:
- No Session Object (or UnitOfWork or EntityManager)
- No Attached or Detached Beans
- No merge(), persist(), flush(), or clear(). Instead Ebean has save() and delete()
