PriDE Entity Generator

What is PriDE?
PriDE is an ultra-thin and high-performance Java O/R
mapper for relational databases, originally developed by MATHEMA
Software GmbH. It doesn't follow any persistence management standards but
relies on common design patterns and is production-proved in both J2SE and J2EE
environments. PriDE can really claim to be the world's smallest persistence
manager, coming as a single library of less than 100k, without requiring XML and
appropriate parser frameworks or other helper libraries beside the JDK.
PriDE gains its simplicity from a few important
design decisions assuming an application architecture based on approved and
widly recommended design patterns. This allows to dispense with some popular
features which make O/R mapping toolkits fat and sometimes cause a kind of
uncontrollable and unexplainable self-will when being used extensively. Many of
these design patterns are related to a layered software architecture which is
most often used for the design of distributed 3-tier systems. However, a layered
architecture is in general reasonable and strongly recommended for any complex
system, not only for distributed applications.
The design was partly inspired by Scott W. Ambler's
white paper "The
Design of a Robust Persistence Layer For Relational Databases". The
manual provides a feature
list allowing to decide if the toolkit matches the individual requirements
in a software development project.
