objectWiz brings two functionalities within the same box:

• First, it is an object-oriented data administration tool for the virtual databases exposed by ORM frameworks¹ such as Hibernate. Like any other administration tool (e.g. phpMyAdmin), it allows the user to navigate through the objects (~ rows), edit and delete them, create new objects, and query them with custom queries. It also brings new functionalities such as the possibility to follow objects references (~ foreign keys) in a graph with a single click and the ability to bookmark queries.
• Second, it can also be used as a rich web-based visual GUI for any database (screenshot 1, screenshot 2). Plug objectWiz, configure the label/icon/templates of the objects and you get a nice GUI quite quickly. Objects are displayed in graph display where the current object is in the center and all the connected objects laid out on a surrounding ellipse.

¹An ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework is a software layer that bridges the gap between relational databases and object-oriented models. Once the programmer has mapped its objects to the tables in the database, it can make its objects persistent (i.e. saved within the database) transparently.
