Java Data Objects

Hi,I hope someone can help. Can anyone tell me what is the best approach to take to generate Java objects to represent database tables? What kind of data structures should be used?Thanks in advance.

Before you reinvent the wheel, take Hibernate for a test drive: http://www.hibernate.org/

Thanks for the reply! Hibernate sound cool, what about JDO?

Ignore that coder monkey, he won't be so cocky when I unveil Wheel 2.0 :-)I'm kidding. Hibernate is a good wheeze. Seems to be more support and community around it than JDO, too

If I am using a DB that does not support Hibernate what are my options?

So start working on the Hibernate interface.
