Method for representing data from non-relational, non-object-oriented datastores as queryable datastore persistent objects

摘要

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for representing data from non-object-oriented external datastores as queryable datastore persistent objects. A computerized system in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes a "bridge" for locating a logical unit of data in a non-object-oriented datastore, for retrieving the data from the datastore, and for mapping the data retrieved from the datastore into a datastore persistent object so that the data is encapsulated within the datastore persistent object.
