Welcome to fmgVen - A Convention over Configuration Java ORM Tool

Project Overview

fmgVen is an alternative to heavyweight ORM tools, where mapping is problematic, and having problems because of lazy loading, etc. It maps database to java domain objects without mapping. Data access must be simple and lightweight. The points of fmgVen are;

• You should know SQL, ORM tool should not aim to abstract out SQL knowledge
• You need performance out of the box, without having to tweak anything
  • You should not have to tweak anything at all
• You need simplicity
• You need lightweightness
• You need convention over configuration
• Mapping to domain object is hard in custom queries
• ORM is good for CRUD but not for complex reports
• Criteria API should not belong to DAO layer, instead it should be first class citizen (like LINQ)
• Criteria API should be type safe, even in Java 1.4 (without annotation support)
• There are still people using Java 1.4
