This is only a draft and made in plain text. To have a real presentation of Torque structured like this the items in the Characteristics section should be expanded by people that has more knowledge of the product than me. --------------- Elevator Pitch Torque is an object-relational mapper designed to simplify usage of SQL data in Java applications across all the common database servers (Link to Versatility). It allows for rapid development, while supporting the full application life cycle. Torque is based on modeling your data schema in XML. It uses this XML to generate the Java objects needed to access your data via it's runtime component. In addition, Torque can generate the SQL needed to create the underlying DB and supports setting up the initial data your applications might need. This means development is faster (Link to Fast Development) because you concentrate on defining the underlying data, then quickly start using the Torque generated objects to work on the business logic. Torque assists in the application deployment phase with its generated SQL scripts and initial data setup capabilities. Finally it helps in the maintenance phase (Link to Easy Code Maintainance) in several ways thanks to XML Schemas usage and standardized code generation Characteristics Versatility - Database independence without sacrificing access to vendor specific enhancements (expand). - Easily extensible, from simple subclassing of generated objects to changing behavior of generated classes via inheritance to custom templates that generate application specific code. - Support for POJO beans, DB connection pooling, and JCS data caching Easy Code Maintainance - XML Schema usage for data definition helps for easy versioning - Torque's method of defining SQL in the code helps identify problems with tables or columns that have been dropped or renamed. (expand) Fast Development - Use of build system (Ant or Maven) generated objects rather than reflection makes code debugging much easier without making it slow. - An object based SQL statement syntax that provides DB server independence, clear execution logic, compile time validation, and easy debugging. -- ================================================== dott.
