Database Mapping

The database layer is the most robust and mature part of this project.

These tutorials should help you get started with mts database mapping:

• simple mapping: mapping a very simple class to the database
• reverse mapping: mapping an existing table to a Java class
• custom mapping: specifying attributes of the mapping process
• mapping strategies: choices on how to organize the table layout
• explicit transactions: the framework supports automatic transaction boundaries for objects trees, but it is also possible to specify these boundaries explicitly.

User Interface Mapping

There are so many different ways of using this framework for a user interface that we haven't got any specific tutorials on the subject just yet...
To give you some pointers, if you wanted to build a GUI for some classes or for some database records, your main options are:

• UI: this core package provides text console, and plain text plugins
• UI-html: provides simple HTML output, which must be called from your own code
• UI-javascript: adds Javascript support to the HTML package
• UI-jsp: provides tags and utilities for writing JSPs
• UI-servlet: can be used to drive a full UI without requiring any HTML or JSPs
