I used Gemstone/J for a number of years. This is the version of Gemstone DB for Java applications, same capabilities as the Smalltalk version. If you are familiar with Object Databases you will find it very easy and capable.
Before using Gemstone/J with a Java application, I worked in Smalltalk for a number of years building an application backed by a different object database product, so I was already familiar with the advantages and pitfalls of using an OO DB. If you are familiar with using an OO DB, Gemstone is an easy transition.
