Based on previous upgrade experiences, the company planned to perform this inventory manually on 300 PCs and expected the process to take at least a month. Instead, the company turned to Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, SYSTEX, the largest systems integrator and Microsoft Large Account Reseller in Taiwan, for assistance. The company introduced Sporton Lab to the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment tool, which is part of a family of Solution Accelerators that are available for download at no cost from the Microsoft TechNet Web site.

whitepaper Using the Java Persistence API in Desktop Applications2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  The JSR 220 specification defines Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0. One of its primary goals is to simplify the creation, management, and storage of entity beans. Working towards that goal, Sun Microsystems and supporting community developers created a new Application Programming Interface (API) that lets one use "Plain old Java objects" or POJOs as the persistable entities. The Java Persistence API facilitates the use of POJOs as entity beans and significantly reduces the need for complicated deployment descriptors and extra helper beans. Additionally, one can even use the API in desktop applications.
