Iridium Satellite Collision in Space
You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites.

Atomicity
The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation.

If the data in your database is complex or the mapping from the relational model to the Java object model is complex, it is best to use JDO with Java application servers instead of JDBC or SQLJ. This would mean that the mapping can be placed in one location outside of your application or application server as opposed to mapping data in multiple locations. See JDBC data conversion (new window) and SQLJ data conversion (new window). Having to map data in only one location simplifies both development and maintenance.

If you have new data and do not have an existing database that requires data mapping, take a look at EJB accelerators (new window).

For more information on JDO issues related to data mapping, see JDO data conversion (new window)

Also, if you are not familiar with the concept of complex data, see complex data (new window).
