Since you have your database question answered (DB2) I'll give my opinion on
JDO or JPA.

I'm not sure if you're using an application server, a servlet container or
running in SE. Either way I would lean towards using JPA. Any Java EE 5 or
above application server has JPA integrated. I know WebSphere Application
Server uses OpenJPA for the JPA implementation.

Both JDO and JPA are just API's. I'm not as familiar with JDO so I don't
know what implementations are out there. I tend to favour JPA as I'm more
familiar with it and it seems to have plenty of implementations. To me JPA
is probably a little more portable since it generates the SQL out of JPQL.

All that said, it really depends on what you are doing. If you're working
with a denormalized database, sometimes JPA is a bit of a pain and standard
JDBC with custom SQL is much better.

Dear all,

Foremost, I would like to say that I'm new to the AS/400 world so sorry
if I ask stupid things...

At work we are using v6r1m0 and we would to write some Java programs
using the AS/400 as database.

The problem comes when deciding what persistence engine to use: I can't
see clearly if the AS/400 is relational or non-relational and I would
like to know which should be better JPA or JDO. I know some people use
JPA but I'm wondering if it is not better to use JDO which has support
for both relational and non-relational and if JPA will have performance
problems because it is made for relational.

So what do you think? JDO or JPA? Or maybe just jdbc!

Thanks in advance!
