TopLink
In computing, TopLink is an object-relational mapping (ORM) package for Java developers. It provides a framework for storing Java objects in a relational database or for converting Java objects to XML documents.
TopLink Essentials is a reference implementation of the EJB 3.0 Java Persistence API (JPA) and a product of Oracle.
History
The Object People (that's the "Top" in the Name) originally developed TopLink in Smalltalk in the 1990s. In 1996-1998 a Java version of the product was created named "TopLink for Java". After the joint acquisition of The Object People in April 2000 by BEA Systems and WebGain, the TopLink product-line became the property of WebGain
In 2002 Oracle Corporation acquired TopLink, which continues to be developed in the Oracle Fusion Middleware product.
In 2006, Oracle donated source code from the TopLink product and development resources to the open-source Sun Microsystems java.net GlassFish project. It became the Java EE EJB 3.0 JPA reference implementation.

To Belong
by: Iggy PopA bird is sitting on the pavement
Someone broke his wing
Now that bird is going nowhere
And he's suffering
Now I understand the setup
I see everything
And the only way to go
Is defy, is defy, is defy
To belong here, to belong here, to belong here
I'm giving up my soul
To belong, to belong, to belong
A spider is sitting in a corner
Gonna catch a fly
Ths web is pulling tight around him
And the fly's I
But all I do is guard my pile
Cause it's my supply
And the only way to go
Is defy, is defy, is defy
To belong here, to belong here, to belong here
