One can anticipate this by building systems in terms of Java objects e.g. develop Web-based databases with Java objects using standard JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) interfaces
-
Oracle DB2 Informix Sybase, Lotus Notes, Object database confusion becomes an issue of performance/robustness NOT functionality
-
Use CORBA to wrap existing applications
|
Even better use (Enterprise) Javabeans which are Java's (middle tier) or client componentware offering visual interfaces, containers (here they are consistent with CORBA standard) and standard software engineering interfacing rules
-
e.g. Java Blend is built on top of JDBC to use enterprise Javabeans to store Java Objects in relational databases
