Persistent Object Store Applications
http://demos.anu.edu.au/jason/thesis/thesis/thesis/thesis.html
by Jason Haines. An anlysis of the costs and benefits of writing applications that utilise a persistent object store. Ian Davis
http://chatsubo.javasoft.com/javaspaces/
From the abstract: JavaSpaces provide a distributed
persistence and data exchange mechanisms for code written in the
Java programming language. Data is written in entries that provide
a typed grouping of relevant fields. Clients can perform simple
operations on a Java Space to write new entries, lookup existing
entries, and remove entries from the space. Using these tools, you
can write systems to store state, and also write systems that use
flow of data to implement distributed algorithms. - BillRehm
JavaBlend
http://chatsubo.javasoft.com/javaspaces/
From the abstract: Blend allows developers to write entirely with Java objects. Java Blend
transparently and automatically maps database records to Java objects and
Java objects to databases, so that developers can avoid translating
programming language data structures to database tables.
