databeans 1.0

databeans is a fully object oriented (not relational) persistence framework for Java, based on the use of the JavaBeans accessor methods to read and write data on disk instead of in the classes instance fields.
Main features:
- based on the use of the javabeans accessor methods to read/write data on disk in place of in the classes instance fields
- distributed (through RMI)
- transactional (with the 4 ANSI isolation levels supported)
- garbage collected (backed by an on-disk heap "heapspace")
- with persistent versions of the Collection classes
Installation:

The most interesting part for now is the file getting_started.txt located in the docs/ directory. It will guide you through running a sample application (which is located in the sample/ directory). That done, go on and read the manual (below) for a complete view of the products features.
