Abstract

Methods and apparatus for persisting objects to a database are disclosed. A set of meta-level objects (120) are defined, each object also having defined a persistence strategy. Each object also has a set of attributes which have their own respective persistence strategy. An object also can have an association with other objects each carrying respective persistence and attribute definitions. Upon a persistence request occurring, a run-time instance of an object is created carrying attributes and attached persistence strategies. The instantiated object is then executed. By defining objects, attributes and persistence strategies at a meta-level that only are populated at run-time, they each are able to be readily modified to give effect to a desired change in persistence strategy, including which attributes are to be persisted.
