This package contains externalized interfaces and implementation classes for working with relational and procedural resource adapters in WebSphere. The classes may be extended if desired or new classes can be created for the user's convenience. A typical scenario would be use of the DataStoreHelper interface to create new helpers. Another would be the sub-classing of existing helpers to fine-tune them to user needs.

This package also contains public helpers and factories for working with CMP/A (Container Managed Persistence over Anything) and CMP/SP (Container Managed Persistence over Stored Procedures), that can be used when implementing the push-down methods in the user's UserDefinedPushDownMethodsImpl class.
