Ebean is an object–relational mapping product written in Java. It is designed to be simpler to use and understand than JPA (Java Persistence API) or JDO (Java Data Objects) products.
Although Ebean has full ORM features (equivalent to JPA) it also has incorporated ‘SQL/Relational’ features.
It uses JPA mapping annotations. Extra mappings ebean provides include:
@DbJson, @DbArray, @DbPartition, @History, @WhenModified, @WhoModified, @SoftDelete, @Encrypted, and more.
This is free and open source software.
