POJO Persistence
There are surprisingly few frameworks, which allow to persist and query Java objects independent of relational database management systems. To me, at least for implementations not bound to using existing relational databases, storing information in interrelated tables seems an arbitrary step in object-oriented development.

The Java Data Objects standard seems to be supported by the DataNucleus Access Platform. This platform in turn depends on various data stores such as a relational database system or other storage systems.
