The Caché Java Binding—The Caché Java binding lets Java objects talk directly to objects on a Caché server. The Java binding automatically creates, for every specified Caché class, a Java proxy class that runs within a Java environment. The proxy class is a pure Java class, containing only standard Java code; it provides access to the properties (available through generated accessor methods) and methods of the projected Caché class.

The Caché Java Binding offers complete support for object database persistence including concurrency and transaction control. In addition, there is a sophisticated data caching scheme to minimize network traffic between the Java environment and the Caché server (which may be located on separate machines).

The Caché EJB Binding—The Caché EJB binding lets J2EE EJB (Enterprise Java Beans) talk directly with objects on a Caché server. The Caché EJB binding automatically generates, for every specified Caché class, an EJB Entity bean that can store and load itself within the Caché database using an efficient, automatically generated, bean-managed persistence interface. In addition, the EJB binding automatically generates EJB “bookkeeping”, such as deployment descriptors, to remove the tedium of EJB programming. For detailed information on Caché and EJB, see Caché EJB Binding

The Caché JDBC Driver—Caché includes a level 4 (pure Java) JDBC driver that supports the JDBC version 2.0 API. The Caché JDBC Driver provides high-performance relational access to Caché. For maximum flexibility, applications can use JDBC and the Caché Java binding at the same time.
