I am looking for a OGM for OrientDb - something that will allow me to persist my domain model (POJO) as vertices and edges declaratively (using annotations perhaps). I stumbled upon Ferma which seems to have the annotations support but I can't find many examples to go on. Specifically, how do I create/initialise a Ferma FramedGraph from an OrientGraphFactory?
This lack of enough samples/documentation also makes me doubt the support for Ferma. I am new to graph databases. Am I on the right track? Are OGM/ORM not the right way to go for graph databases or am I just looking at the wrong OGM? Coming from the RDBM world I am looking for a stack like: OrientDb -> TinkerPop3 Frames -> anOGM where anOGM is an actively maintained fast(preferably compile time code generation) OGM/ORM with wide community support. Something like neo4j-ogm.
Yes, JPA has spoiled me!!.
Currently, the most active OGM for TinkerPop 3.x that I know of for Java is the recently announced gremlin-ogm. You also have the option of building a Gremlin DSL which has a similar goal of mapping the domain of the graph to the query language. You can read more about that here in this blog post as well.
