Because of the issues related to multiple mappings of Java objects to tables
and vice versa, it is best to use JDBC with Java application servers when the
data being mapped is quite simple. For example, JDBC would be an excellent way

little mapping of data needed in this case.
If your data mapping is complex, however, you should look at either JDO
or EJB accelerators:

What impresses me about the book is...
