SDO 2.1 Specification Progress

The SDO collaboration has been working to clarify and further enhance the SDO specification. This includes a large number of clarifications as well as several significant improvements.
The most important new features include:

• Open content property creation
• MetaData annotation (constraints)
• Load/Save XML with JAXP Source and Result
• DataType conversion
• Nullable Property control
• HelperContext interface
• sdoXML:many XSD annotation

In addition, there are currently over 50 minor clarifications that have been resolved including the minimum JDK level, which in SDO 2.1 is raised to 1.4.
