JDBC and the Global Auctions Management System

The global auctions management system uses a PointBase database to store information about customer registrations, auctions, and bids. This data is accessed using JDBC. In several cases, JDBC isn't directly used; instead, Entity EJBs that employ container-managed persistence (CMP) are used. In other cases, JDBC is used directly, either from an EJB that uses bean-managed persistence or directly from a JSP.
