It is one of a class of programs called PODs. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/pod.html

Jaofip seems to be the liveliest right now. For reasons I do not
understand, interest in them has dropped.

Programming with them is almost like having a multi terrabyte RAM
machine that never loses power and the app never terminates.

Not to comment on the mentioned implementation (I've never used it), but
I'd like to point out that persistence providers like EclipseLink have
put a lot of effort into doing "intelligent" serialization as described
above. It's part of their bread and butter.

So you've basically reinvented JDO? That's cool, i always liked JDO.

Hi Tom,

I do not think reinvented JDO. If you like JDO and well know it I will
be happy you compare the JOAFIP and JDO facade.
