Upcoming webinars for Java and JPA access to MySQL Cluster

ClusterJ Architecture

MySQL have been working on a new way of accessing MySQL Cluster using Java. Designed for Java developers, the MySQL Cluster Connector for Java implements an easy-to-use and high performance native Java interface and OpenJPA plug-in that maps Java classes to tables stored in the high availability, real-time MySQL Cluster database.

There is a series of 2 webinars coming up, as always these are free to attend – you just need to register in advance:

Part 1: Tuesday, February 16, 2010: 10:00 Pacific time

• an overview of the MySQL Cluster Connector for Java
• what these technologies bring to Java developers
• implementation details of the MySQL Cluster Java API and Plug-In for OpenJPA
• configuring the connection to MySQL Cluster
• creating the Java Domain Object Model for your tables
• managing insert, update, and delete operations
• querying the database
• how to get started developing new Java applications using these interfaces
