Is there a Java database API which I can use exclusively from beanshell?

I am coming from the ruby world and want to be able to use Java to interactively creat开发者_开发技巧e objects and query the database like with IRB. Which Java database APIs work with beanshell?

I've never used beanshell, so maybe this is way off target, but what you're asking for seems very close to what Grails offers. It uses JPA under the covers for the data aspects. It also provides a console that can be used to interactively interact with the database.
