Hi, Is it possible to store entity beans in OODBMS?. If so how inheritance is managed with entity beans?. Regards, Pasu

I'm not sure that you can store the actual entity beans within an object database, since you generally have to have them extend special classes or implement specific interfaces provided by the database vendor. You can however, using BMP, store representations of the entity beans within an object database. For example, you could extract the data into a value object type structure and insert this. Probably also means that you have to manage any relationships, etc too. Anybody else care to comment? Simon

I don't think this is really true. An OODBMS vendor could provide a "plugin" for enabling a transparent CMP persistency to the database (like e.g. Toplink).
