Re: To hibernate or not to hibernate?

I'm interested in hearing more on this, too. Having programmed JDBC for a lot of years, I agree that the plumbing (all the try/catch/finally and connection-drudgery) business is ugly, but hibernate and their O/R ilk seem like so much work and seem, from the outside, to be a maintenance nightmare. No?

I'm glad to hear that somebody else agrees with me on that. OTOH, I'm tracking the Hibernate Annotations project, and that seems to answer all of those complaints. I think it makes Hibernate look very attractive.

The only thing missing now is a really good book on Hibernate strictly from the Annotations viewpoint.
