Introduction
Effigy: 1. a sculpture or model of a person. 2. a roughly made model of a particular person, made in order to be damaged or destroyed as a protest or expression of anger
You can decide which definition above fits with your standard data-access experience.
Effigy is an annotation-driven simplification of JDBC that sits on top of the Spring JDBC library and allows a developer to quickly develop data-access code for standard use cases, based on standard coding patterns.
Effigy is NOT a full-blown ORM.
Effigy is inspired by JPA and Spring-Data JPA and the desire to have similar functionality with simple JDBC-based projects.
Build
Effigy uses Gradle, so just run:
gradlew build
User Guide
The User Guide is built using Gaiden, separate from the standard Gradle build. If you want to generate the User Guide
run the following in the effigy-guide directory:
gaidenw build
The effigy-guide/build directory will contain the generated guide.
