Prevayler is an object persistence library for Java. It is an implementation of the System Prevalence architectural style, in which data is kept hot in Memory with changes journaled for system recovery.

Here are some key features of "Prevayler":
· It's extremely simple. There's no separate database server to run.
· It lets us program with real objects. We can choose whatever object models, data structures, and algorithms are appropriate to our particular application domain. Prevayler doesn' t require our business objects to extend any base class or implement any interface in order to be persistent.
· It's test-friendly. Since we' re programming with real objects, we can properly encapsulate logic together with the data it uses, making unit tests cleaner, easier to write, and faster to run. The restrictions that Prevayler does impose on us - - keeping our code deterministic, for example - - are consistent with the disciplines that test-driven development teaches us anyway.
· It makes threadsafety easy. Prevayler makes transactions run sequentially, so we don ' t have to worry about typical multithreading issues like locking and consistency (unless we really want to get tricky, and Prevayler lets us do that, too).
· It's extremely fast. Everything runs in Memory, so the only disk access is streaming transactions to the journal, which we ' ve optimized to a peak rate of up to a thousand transactions per second on desktop hardware. And read-only queries don ' t even have that overhead, so they run instantaneously, hundreds of thousands per second.
