Hi everyone,
Am developing an dynamic web application from scratch, I have decided to use the below
Spring 3 Framework
Mysql DB
Eclipse Galileo
Java 5
Tomcat 7
Maven
Junit
Ant
Point to be noted are,
I may switch to other DB vendor later.
Application will let user to compare different service providers like comparing (mobile,car)
Application will show reports using pagination.
Now the problem is, I couldn't make up my mind which approach to use for DB access, whether to use Spring
JDBC or ORM(Hibernate)
Requests you to suggest the ideal approach and comments on the tools selected fro development.
Thank you.
