Hi Mark,

I suggest that you evaluate our object database engine. It stores Java objects as they come. You will have zero work to configure the engine, to modify classes in any manner or to set up a "database scheme". Reflection recognizes the classes you use automatically. If you deploy your application on CD, there are no installation problems either. All you need is our 80kB Jar in the CLASSPATH.

Kind regards,
Carl
