<p>A system and a method for accessing a data store as objects (700) from an object application. The accessed data store could be either an object data store or a non-object (e.g. relational) data store (302). The system includes an object schema (600) including meta data corresponding to a data store schema and an adapter abstraction layer. The adapter abstraction layer comprises a first adapter, and a second adapter. One embodiment of the system includes an object schema manager to create and maintain the object schema at run time. It comprises a dynamic, scalable, centrally managed, and secure method for accessing data stored in both object and non-object (e.g. relational) data stores, effecting a consistent interface to the data store regardless of its underlying structure, or a method of transport and level of security.</p> |
