» ONJava.com: Flawed JDO Points the Way to the "Objectbase" [Apr. 24, 2002]
   Java Data Objects (JDO) is neither a silver bullet nor without merit. But its most important contribution may be to wake developers up to the coming paradigm shift: from database to objectbase, a place where not only data but data and behaviors are stored

» ONJava.com: Flawed Understanding of JDO Leads to FUD
   In this scathing response to Don Bales' recent critique of Java Data Objects, David Jordan offers proof that JDO does not regard SQL as a bad thing, yields shorter and simpler code, and is vendor-neutral.
