Is there a Java equivalent for .Net System.Data?

Question

Is there a Java package that provides functionality, such as the .Net System.Data namespace? Are the DataSet and Adapter classes specific?

Answer 1

Use java.util for collections. java.sql for databases.

Answer 2

the equivalent of ADO.NET is JDBC. You can get it here:

Answer 3

ADO.NET is a platform with several applications, and DataSet is one of the main abstractions. Tell us more about what you want to achieve, and I'm sure someone will find a Java environment for this purpose.

If you need an easy way to map Java objects to a data backend (for example, XML files), take a look at some of the POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects).

Answer 4

Hibernate is a popular structure in the Java world. Pretty simple mapping of objects to tables and much more.
