The purpose of this framework is to save the time, tedium and possible inconsistency of hand coding DAO layer objects. This includes all of the basic CRUD methods as well as various "find" or "search" methods.

Hades is a utility library to work with Data Access Objects implemented with Spring and JPA. The main goal is to ease the development and operation of a data access layer in applications.

The abstraction provided by JPA is pretty leaky and has ramifications for larger parts of your application than just your Data Access Objects (DAO's) and your domain objects. You need to make decisions on how to handle transactions, lazy loading, detached object (think web frameworks), inheritance, and more. And it turns out that the books and the articles don't really help you here.

I blogged before about writing DRY CRUD DAOs using JPA. I was able to improve on that thanks to many comments from other users. So thanks for the tips. On a recent project we decided to go with iBatis and I wanted to see if it was possible to use the same methods that I use for JPA based DAOs.

This article explains how to extend Spring-LDAP with an iBATIS-style XML Data Mapper to access LDAP data through intuitive JavaBean operations.

Abator is a code generator for iBATIS. It will introspect a database and will generate iBATIS artifacts that can be used to access the table(s). This abates some of the initial nuisance of setting up objects and configuration files to interact with db.

This article introduces DAOFlex, an open-source tool that automates some of the routine tasks in developing Adobe Flex 2 business applications

This article is a primer on DAO design pattern, highlighting its merits and demerits. It then introduces the Spring 2.0 JDBC/DAO framework and demonstrates how it elegantly addresses the drawbacks in traditional DAO design.

The motivation behind this blog entry is to provide a simple step-by-step guide for getting started with JPA in a standalone environment with the Spring Framework.

With the adoption of Javaâ„¢ 5 generics, the idea of a generic typesafe Data Access Object (DAO) implementation has become feasible. In this article, system architect Per Mellqvist presents a generic DAO implementation class based on Hibernate. He then sh

As great as Hibernate is, a lesser-known Java persistence solution called iBATIS actually may be a superior technology for your Spring development in certain situations. Find out which.

As I travel around to customer sites, it seemingly comes up everywhere. I have seen it in large government agencies, financial companies, and internet companies. I have seen it used by small consultancies and the large systems integrators.
