A component-based infrastructure for customized persistent object management

This paper introduces a component-based infrastructure to build customized persistent object managers. The usage of such an infrastructure is twofold. First, the infrastructure can be used to instantiate persistence object managers for applications where full-fledged database management systems (DBMS) may be cumbersome (e.g. resource constrained systems). Second, it can be used to build database middleware. We focus on the description of components and related design patterns.
