In all cases u will use JDBC but I recommend that u use a persistance technology to ease the development and increase ur productivity, if ur application server is J2EE 1.3 complaint go for the EJB model (Session + entity beans) and use the paterns found at:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/index.html" rel="ugc">http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/index.html</a><br />
<br />
if not their is a lot of alternative persistance technologies like:<br />
1- hibernate refer to <a href="http://www.hibernate.org/" rel="ugc">http://www.hibernate.org/</a><br />
2- Toplink refer to <a href="http://otn.oracle.com" rel="ugc">http://otn.oracle.com</a><br />
<br />
Good luck

Yes and u can Adopt JDO too

If your datastructures are simple, you can just use plain object serialization or XML to save your persistant data.

Hey all,<br />
<br />
Just wanted to know if JDO is alternative to JDBC? I.e which is the best to use for database conectivity?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
