Server side POJO persistence with hibernate... ya I researched apache derby a little more to realize it wasn't at all what I'm looking for. I'm currently working with
JDBC MySQL and Hibernate to provide persistence in my app. I'm pretty new to this just learning the bare essentials then going from there. Lots of decisions to make without a lot of experience. Another quick question, when should I opt for direct storage in the database and when should I opt to use hibernate? Also, how is concurrent modification handled in MySQL(if I make beans I can synchronize obviously).
