Hi guys , right now I am involved in a project with J2EE and We are designing the proposed architecture. At this moment our architecture consist of
a MVC model (throught Struts framework) and include a persistence layer. Regarding this persistence layer We have identified EJB 2.0, EJB 3.0 and Hibernate
as candidates but we dont have previous experiences implementing persistences layers with these tecnologies. Could you give us some advices ,tips or material
to take into account in our architecture desicions.

We have identified EJB 2.0


You can probably abandon that though straight away. Entity Beans have a plethora of failings - much documented if you search through the posts in the ORM forum.

The hibernate maybe is the best choice.

You are mixing up different things... Leaving out EJB 2.0 (which is quite old and not worth using anymore) you mentioned EJB3 and Hibernate as alternatives. They are no alternatives! If you talk about EJB3 and persistence you talk about JPA which is a specification. So if you decide to use EJB3.0/JPA you have to decide which JPA-provider you use. Hibernate is the default JPA-provider in JBoss but you can change it. Inside your app you only use javax.persistence.*.

Don't go for EJB 2.0.

Hibernate 3.* and EJB 3.0 is best choice for Java ORM tool. Acctually Java EJB 3.0 is A Hibernate Clone

That's inaccurate. EJB3 and JPA (Hibernate is an implementation of JPA) are two completely different things.

If you need to use more features, e.g. Criteria, more ID generators. Hibernate seems to be the best choice, but if you want portability go for EJB 3.0. And yes, even with EJB 3.0, you still can fall back to native Hibernate if you choose Hibernate as your ORM provider.

Thanks a lot for your valuable answers guys, but if you would have to decide between EJB 3 and Hibernate regarding that this solution is proposed for a bank system that requires high performance and high transaction load.What alternative will be the best in response time,high performance and high transaction load ?

Repeating myself again - EJB3 and Hibernate are not the same. So the question of deciding between EJB3 and Hibernate does not arise.

I agree EJB3.0 and Hibernate are not same and also JPA & hibernate also are two separate approaches.

Hibernate is old as compare to JPA. JPA is more of specification.

What are the other parameters for you to short list JPA or hibernate. Like do you need any caching ? or some other ORM framework features.

Regarding your load, performance issues, it depends on your over all architecture design.

I agree EJB3.0 and Hibernate are not same because from my point of view each one is a provider of JPA specification.
From my undestanding JPA is a specification that has different providers ,some of them are
Hibernate, OpenJPA and if I am not wrong EJB 3.0.

Right now at the project phase only we have a set of options for persistence layer ( EJB 3.0,OpenJPA, Hibernate). I would appreciate
what ORM framework features could be useful to take into account in the selection process and any advice or tip would be valuable too.

The proposed architecture is base in a presentation layer, logic layer and a persistence layer.

Thanks in advance
