ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for using a non-object-oriented datastore as a generic persistent datastore for persistent objects. A computerized system in accordance with the principles of the present invention provides a "bridge" that interfaces between an application program and a non-object-oriented database management system to provide persistent storage for objects manipulated by the application program. The invention further provides a class definition tool for defining a generic database description associated with the non-object-oriented datastore, for defining a specification for the non-object-oriented datastore using the generic database description, for defining a specification for a generic datastore persistent object class using the specification of the non-object-oriented datastore, and for generating generic schema mapper class definition and method source code using the generic datastore persistent object class specification, wherein the generic schema mapper class definition and method source code has methods for interfacing the application program and the non-object-oriented datastore.
