This is the generic dao written by Aaron Zeckoski ([email protected])
It is designed to make it easier and faster for developers to write their DAOs without having to rewrite the same old boring save/delete/etc... functions over and over for each persistent type but also not having to have dependencies in their DAO interfaces. It also allows for good control over which persistent objects are usable within the DAO and is easy to extend so you can add your own DAO methods.
Usage may seem complex at first but it is actually not too bad and is highly configurable. This is not meant to be FULL ORM but it is much more predictable and simply removes as much busywork from persisting data as possible without getting in your way.
Building this project and putting it in your repository: Maven1: Simply run "maven jar:install" from the root source directory of this project Maven2: run "mvn clean install" from the root source directory of this project
There are 3 ways to use the GenericDao depending on your needs.
- BasicGenericDao use (minimal methods)
- GeneralGenericDao use (many more advanced methods)
- Extended Dao use (advanced methods plus your own)
See the javadoc overview.html file for more details.
