Morphia = MongoDB + POJOs

Interesting reading on IBM DeveloperWorks:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-morphia/index.html

Nice to see more and more people now understand the value of directly using business models as the View part of MVC-oriented data access / manipulation patterns.

Please note MongoDB also has a .NET interface with support for C# and F#.
Would be nice to have an EF provider for it.

JEST: JPA + REST

Interesting article from Pinaki Poddar on IBM DeveloperWorks:

JEST: REST on OpenJPA


It is clearly going in the right direction!

A little bit like SDO, but based on REST instead of SOAP.
"Occasionally-connected" data access and manipulation pattern is exactly what the Xcalia technology was already doing, a few years ago, before being discontinued by PROGRESS Software.

It is nice to see the market maturing towards our original vision.
