7.1 Overview of Oracle Kodo
Oracle Kodo is an implementation of Sun Microsystems Java Persistence API JPA specification and Java Data Objects JDO specification for transparent data objects.
Oracle Kodo is available as a stand-alone product and is integrated within WebLogic Server.
This chapter describes how to implement an application using JPA or JDO in WebLogic Server. Within WebLogic Server, the JPA and JDO implementations are part
of WebLogic Server’s overall Enterprise JavaBean 3.0 persistence implementation.
For general information on creating an application using JPA and JDO, see the Kodo 4.2.0 Developers Guide for JPAJDO.
7.2 Creating an Oracle Kodo Application
The first step in implementing a Oracle Kodo application on WebLogic Server is to write the application code. The following resources provide general information on
writing an application that uses Oracle Kodo to manage persistence of your data:
Note: Oracle Kodo JPAJDO is deprecated in this release. Customers
are encouraged to consider using Oracle TopLink. For more information about Oracle TopLink, see
Using Oracle TopLink with Oracle WebLogic Server
. When you use TopLink, you can install a patch to WebLogic Server
which provides support for JPA 2.0. For more information, see Section 6.3, Using JPA 2.0 with TopLink in WebLogic Server.
WebLogic Server does not support JPA 2.0 when using Kodo.
