Package kodo.meta Description

JDO MetaData

This package provides an extendable framework for parsing JDO metadata. The metadata can be accessed at both enhancement time and at runtime. The framework uses caching and a fast SAX parser to reduce the overhead involved in finding and parsing the metadata for each JDO type.

The major classes of this package are separated into interfaces and implementations so that extensions can be written either by subclassing or by delegation.
