Hibernate is a good tool for generating java classes over arbitrary databases. http://www.hibernate.org/ I've also used Castor for generating java objects out of xml schemas and mapping those onto database objects. I do a lot of coding on various PHP, Java, and MS Access front ends over MySQL, Oracle, and Postgresql. Generating objects from a database schema with tools like hibernate is much easier to do and maintain than doing it by hand. I'm in the process of hacking a PHP 5 object persistence layer supporting CRUD into Druid, but the objects representing the tables are themselves connecting to the database, rather than hibernate's more abstract (and better for plugging in different back ends) framework.
