Using VisualAge Smalltalk ObjectExtender

VisualAge Smalltalk ObjectExtender is the transaction and persistence framework feature of the IBM VisualAge Smalltalk Enterprise product family. ObjectExtender is the sister component to the Persistence Builder of the VisualAge for Java product.

ObjectExtender enables your object models to persist in relational data stores as well as provides linkages to legacy data systems. Creating the persistence layer is accomplished using the ObjectExtender tool set. The tool set helps you describe the business objects in your model that will persist in a data store. The tools generate the supporting code that services your persistent business as well as data definition language for relational databases to create the tables.

ObjectExtender supports various development paths - from the model top-down to the database, from the database bottom-up to the model, and mapping a model to a database schema - with the options to mix full generation, partial generation, and manual entered definitions for the components along the path.

This redbook is intended for analysts, designers, software developers, application experts, and technical project managers who want to become familiar with ObjectExtender. A basic understanding of object and relational technology is assumed. All developed sample applications and test scripts are available as downloadable sources.
