Almost every application written today requires data access of some kind. The most common forms of data access today are based upon selection, update, delete processes against a database or XML. While data access has been around for many years now and may be quite trivial, it is an essential concept for any programming language. Not only is it important to know the concepts behind data access, but it is also important to adhere to the basics of object orientation while doing so. A well formed application will use objects to pass data around, which makes it more flexible and easy to code.
In this short article, I will quickly walk through the basics of setting up and using a simple data access model based upon well known Java models. Please note that this model is incomplete because it only touches upon the beginnings of creating such a model. Most Java applications use interfaces to access data from a controller class, whereas this simple model leaves that concept out completely.
