Abstract

A method and system to make data persistent in data storage using a generic application interface. An embodiment of the method may include providing the generic data persistence interface to store data independent of data storage mechanisms. The interface may include generic routines commonly shared by the data storage mechanisms. The method may further include calling the generic routines as a function of a particular data storage mechanism upon receiving an request and executing the called routines. The interface provides a unique identifier associated with the data to store with the data in persistent storage. Exemplary applications include persistent file storage and persistent JDBC database storage.
