Mapping Relational Databases to OO Models

Mapping is the process of tying a relational model of data, as determined by the schema of a relational database, to an object-oriented model. This tool lets you tie the interrelated data of the relational model to a set of interrelated CMP beans containing data and associated behaviors. You can then use this object representation of the database to form the basis of a Java application. You can also customize this mapping to optimize the underlying beans for the particular needs of an application.

This tool maps each bean to tables within a single database schema. All related beans must also map to that schema.
