Accessing data with client applications
After you configure your development environment, you can
begin to develop applications that create, access, and manage the
data in your data grid.
System APIs and plug-ins
A plug-in is a component
that provides a function to the
pluggable components, which include ObjectGrid and BackingMap. To
most effectively use eXtreme Scale as an in-memory data grid or database
processing space, you should carefully determine how best you can
maximize performance with available plug-ins.
Programming to use the OSGi framework
You can start eXtreme Scale servers
and clients in an OSGi container, which allows you to dynamically
add and update eXtreme Scale plug-ins to the runtime environment.
Programming for JPA integration
The Java™ Persistence
API (JPA) is
a specification that allows mapping Java objects
to relational databases. JPA contains a full object-relational mapping
(ORM) specification using Java language
metadata annotations, XML descriptors, or both to define the mapping
between Java objects and a relational
database. A number of open-source and commercial implementations are
available.
