# Application Object Model

Previous

Next

Object modeling refers to the design of the Java classes that represent your application objects. With TopLink, you can use your favorite integrated development environment (IDE) or Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling tool to define and create your application object model.

Any class that registers a descriptor with a TopLink database session is called a persistent class. TopLink does not require that persistent classes provide public accessor methods for any private or protected attributes stored in the database. Refer to "Persistent Class Requirements" for more information.
