I have been doing a lot of work with data access services recently so I figure it's time to share what I have discovered. Don't be scared off that this series is broken into 5 parts, I will keep them short:
- Part 1 - The Database
- Part 2 - Mapping the Database to JPA Entities
- Part 3 - Mapping JPA entities to XML (using JAXB)
- Part 4 - The RESTful Service
- Part 5 - The Client
In this series of posts we will use a number of standard Java EE technologies to quickly create a RESTful data access service:
- JSR-317 - Java Persistence Architecture (JPA)
- JSR-222 - Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB)
- JSR-220 - Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
- JSR-311 - The Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)
