[ojb-users] OJB Integration with Legacy Application and sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdb cDriver, and Mapping Generation...

[Corey K. <Co...@kl...>]

I am writing an application which interfaces with a
legacy-construction-management-software application and I am exploring the
possibility of using OJB for object mapping. From what I can gather, I will
need to specify an default database for OJB's internal repository, and a
legacy,-application-database-connection descriptor for each class
descriptor, e.g.:

<ClassDescriptor>
  ...
  <JdbcConnectionDescriptor>...</JdbcConnectionDescriptor>
  ...
</ClassDescriptor>

Is this correct?

For a number of reasons, I cannot use the legacy application's underlying
database for these internal tables.

Also, are there any mapping -- class and repository -- generation tools in
the works?

FYI, I chose OJB over Castor, because it provides support for Sun's driver
because you were thoughtful enough to limit yourself to JDBC 1.0. I also
like the fact that there is a JDO implementation in the hopper.

Thanks,
Corey
