Persistence of objects is necessary, but not necessarily easy. In this track we explore how objects can be made persistent in both relational and object oriented databases. We will see general methods as well as concrete alternatives to persist objects.
Arno Schmidmeier, founder of AspectSoft, begins the track by asking the question "Why do objects care about persistence at all?" and explains how this can be avoided with aspect oriented programming.

Robin Roos, the author of the first book available on JDO, introduces JDO as a standard and is followed by Eric Samson, from Libelis, describing their implementation of Lido, a fully compliant set of universal JDO drivers.

But aspect orientation and JDO are very specific subjects related to persistence. To give a broader view on the field we have two presenters of general discussions on different approaches: Wolfgang Keller describes persistence options for object-oriented programs with a number of patterns for O/R mapping. Akmal B. Chaudri, expert in object oriented databases discusses different approaches to object persistence with a comparison between different strategies with a focus on object oriented databases.

From SolarMetric comes Patrick Linskey, together with a developer from the Trifork enterprise application server, to give us a presentation on how JDO can be supported by an enterprise application server.

Another presentation on persistence support is from Poet, purveyors of object oriented databases.

Erik Dörnenburg describes Enterprise Object Broker (EOB), an application service framework that imposes no restriction on the persistence framework used. Common choices include Prevayler and Hibernate.

For those who like Open Source projects we have Hibernate, presented by Gavin King, the founder of the project.
