MetaModel 1.2 introduces cross-datastore querying and MS Access and dBase support

We're happy to present a new version of the wonderful  MetaModel component. This version adds a radical new feature: Cross-datastore querying, which means that you can now execute queries that spans multiple datastores (ie. with transparent client-side joining, filtering, grouping etc.). You can check out a simple example of this  at kasper's source (blog).

Version 1.2 also adds support for two long-awaited datastores: Microsoft Access databases and dBase databases. Access support is implemented for MetaModel with a core based on the  Jackcess project. MetaModel's dBase support is based on a derivate of  xBaseJ, courtesy of xBaseJ, American Coders and Joe McVerry.

To look into MetaModel 1.2, here are the crucial resources:

  • Downloadables at  google code.
  • Javadocs  available online.
  • Maven-support out of the box: 
    <dependency>
  <groupId>dk.eobjects.metamodel</groupId>
  <artifactId>MetaModel-full</artifactId>
  <version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

With MetaModel 1.2 we're feature-complete with all of the 1.x features of the MetaModel-roadmap. We hope that you will find it to be as great and useful as we ever intended it to be!
