JAVA Persistence

API(JPA)
What is it?
How would we use it in a project?
Should we use it?

-Parag Chaudhari
Introduction - Without using JPA?
Lot of implementation details (connections, implementation,
resultsets etc)

Alternative is to use ORM tools such as (Hibernate, iBatis, JDO)

But what about Object-Relation mismatch?
Solution : Use JPA.
