Tutorials for Cayenne version 3.0 are still work in progress. Please use the tutorials from Cayenne 2.0 until we bring 3.0 version in sync with the code

Remote Object Persistence Quick Start

This tutorial is an extension of a Quick Start Cayenne tutorial, showing how to deploy an existing mapping project as a Cayenne web service, and then write a command-line client to access the service. Note that in most real applications the client will be a Swing or SWT GUI application. We are showing the command line example to avoid dealing with UI details and concentrate on Cayenne API.

Full tutorial source code in a form of Eclipse project is distributed with Cayenne (see "src/tutorials/quick-start-rop" folder).
