I just read the documentation on Cache Objects. I would say it's a long stretch to say Cache' Objects constitutes an object store. Cache Objects seem to provide an "Object Database View" of things, but that's much different than a pure object data store.

Last time I checked, Cache's role in life was to provide a SQL-esque view of the VistA data store. And it looks like they're doing the same for objects. They try to give you an "object view of things" but the underlying storage seems to molested SQL table structures on top of a MUMPS data store .... hard to tell, really.

For a MUCH closer implementation of an object store that lays on top of the MUMPS database, check out ESI Objects (http://sourceforge.net/projects/esiobjects). This is, in as simple terms as I can muster, a Java-inspired object model (with inheritance) written on the MUMPS platform. There's a nice Java API to interact with the MUMPS-defined object model as well.

Terry W. can speak more about it though.

Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Rewriting CPRS in Java

Absoutely! I'm looking at the feasibility of doing this. There was also a Request for Information released by the Veterans Administration for companies that could move from MUMPS to object databases, which in my book automatically implies Java based designs.

Happy to collaborate, etc... on something like this.

For now though, it looks like the best immediate results lies with effective VistA integration strategies - the ESI toolkit and a few other approaches look like viable candiates so far.

Our efforts at present are on integrating the VistA data store with the Java platform via the OMG CORBAMED specifications. It's slow progress at this point.

Is any one working on rewriting CPRS in Java so it is
independent of Windows? I would like to get in touch with anyone
interested in this project or has made an estimate of the
quantum of work involved. It would be more economical if it is
done from India and we are looking at the possibility of funding
to support the project. The reason for the special interest is
that one of the multinationals here in India is also willing to
partially fund it.
