<P>The <A href="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink">EclipseLink</A> project's
goal is to provide a complete persistence framework that is both comprehensive
and universal. It will run in any Java environment and read and write objects to
virtually any type of data source, including relational databases, XML, or EIS
systems. EclipseLink will focus on providing leading edge support, including
advanced feature extensions, for the dominant persistence standards for each
target data source; Java Persistence API (JPA) for relational databases, Java
API for XML Binding (JAXB) for XML, Java Connector Architecture (JCA) for EIS
and other types of legacy systems, and Service Data Objects (SDO).</P></DIV>
