Take a look at Spring's Petclinic sample app. It shows how easy it can be to use Hibernate (or
JDBC, Apache OJB for that matter). Spring takes care of the dirty work of managing the Hibernate Session so your DAO's can consist mostly of simple one-liners. Plus, you also get the ability to do declarative transaction management without using
EJB !
