You can also use Prevayler for object Prevalence... http://prevayler.codehaus.org/ If you use Prevayler in-memory only, then no configuration will be needed. Otherwise, if you want to persist across application restarts, then you will have to configure a directory to be writable. Of course, you can always use the "configuration wizard" to do this.
