Pluggable Java Persistence

Some great news coming out of Glassfish: their Java Persistence implementation is now separately downloadable and can be used in other environments, such as Geronimo. Actually, it can be used in any J2SE application. Also, other Java Persistence implementations can be run in Glassfish. We appear to have a pluggable persistence architecture for Java – very nice!

I'm personally going to investigate using Java Persistence in the browser, as a nicer (and more portable) programmatic layer than JDBC for doing persistence in the browser.
