EOF is the tool (framework, actually) we use to access databases in
WebObjects. It was originally written in ObjC so you could use it with
the AppKit (Cocoa). But now it has been rewritten entirely in Java and
the ObjC version has been dropped (well, it's still available if you use
WebObjects 4.5).
So Cocoa developers can't use it unless they write a Cocoa-Java
application or use the java bridge.
EOs were mainly the object representation of rows in the database, but
since they're objects, they can do a lot of things. The access to the
database was done with the EOAccess framework, specifically with the
EOAdaptor classes.
