Hi All,

when it is necessarily to use the Hibernate framework in Application as persistence.

As i got few idea:

1) Performance (caching)
2) Cross Database Portability
3) Developers Friendly

if you have any more views from your knowledge please share it.

Regards,
prabhat

Caching can be implemented in many different ways; in my opinion that's not really a reason to choose Hibernate. Overall performance isn't always either--in many cases it's much more efficient not to use *any* ORM.

Most ORMs also support cross-database capabilities, so that isn't really Hibernate-specific either.

As to whether or not it's developer friendly... depends on the developer and how good they are with Hibernate. Hibernate can make lots of simple DB stuff very simple, but can introduce a level of complexity in some cases.

I think you have the main reasons correct. But with Hibernate you got to know what you are doing! I think many people started adopting it since it had a good backing and is one of the proven technologies

....extension to this list,

4) Hibernate learning curve is short
5) Free tools such as Eclipse’s Plugin & Code generation tools

And lastly,

6) Hibernate is free and open source – very wide and active community and get questions answered in few minutes
