Frequently, Java developers find it necessary to map their mission- critical data to databases such as SQL Server. Doing so usually requires an expensive proprietary solution that must be installed on both platforms. Fortunately, JSQL Mapper, a plug and play Java tool released by JNetDirect, does the job efficiently. It is easily configured and conforms to the industrywide XML standard. It allows you to design visually the relational mappings that will be executed by the Java Virtual Machine.
JSQL Mapper eliminates the necessity to create custom code. The best feature is that it accomplishes the task without modification to the existing database schema. Not only is this quite a timesaver, but it also eliminates errors and is wonderfully convenient.
