Thought Inc., The Dynamic O/R Mapping Company announced the new release of Version 5 Service Release 1 of CocoBase Pure Pojo with EJB 3 JPA specification integration and support, the new Java standard API for Object to Relational Mapping. CocoBase jumps ahead of the industry with the only ORM tool offering an integrated GUI for development and unmatched performance and scalability that actually scales linearly with increases in complexity and data volumes. Combine these key benefits with the mature CocoBase enterprise-level persistence architecture and the result is major increases in productivity and decreases in the cost of building new applications. This secures CocoBase's ability to provide a solution to customers that has a lower combined build and deployment cost than even open source alternatives.

"CocoBase has once again leapt ahead of its competitors to offer an implementation of EJB 3 JPA with the only integrated easy to use GUI and unmatchable extreme high performance," said Greg Baker, Director Of Sales And Marketing, Thought Inc. "The Dynamic O/R Mapping Architecture of CocoBase Makes it Easy to Integrate a New API Onto the Existing Persistence Manager Thus Providing Developers Access to a Powerful Easy to Use Toolset for JPA development."

The Java Persistence API's (JPA) is now the standard for programming data persistence on the J2EE and J2SE platforms. With this release of version 5.0 Service Release 1, corporate applications built with the JPA can easily utilize the powerful enterprise-level Dynamic O/R Mapping architecture of CocoBase to manage the persistence of data for their companies. CocoBase offers a number of key advantages for developers programming with the EJB 3.0 JPA that are not available with JPA implementations from other key ORM tools;

1) Includes the highly intuitive and advanced CocoBase GUI's designed specifically for ease of use and high productivity. CocoBase is the only major ORM tool to include any kind of comprehensive GUI for building EJB 3 persistence.

2) Provides an advanced enterprise-focused commercial persistence technology and platform that the JPA API's are integral part of. This allows the developer to make use of the basic features supported in the JPA as well as the extensive additional persistence functionality and mapping and runtime features of CocoBase. The patented CocoBase Dynamic O/R Mapping architecture was designed from the beginning to easily manage the full range of persistence requirements from simple to complex.

3) Provides an extreme high performance and scalable persistence solution. The CocoBase Persistence Manager is designed such that applications run up to 2 to 3 times faster than the same calls hand-coded with just a JDBC driver. This high performance along with the linear scalability characteristics of CocoBase ensures that applications easily meet usability expectations and cut the costs or need of additional software or hardware.

4) Provides the only major commercial (non open-source) ORM tool implementation of the EJB 3.0 JPA. This allows corporate applications to take advantage of a patented and source-code protected code base. The CocoBase JPA solution is an integral part of the toolset that was designed tightly and cohesively by the same engineering team that built the tool from the beginning. The result takes full advantage of the decade old mature and stable persistence technology that is a key requirement for use in mission critical corporate applications
