Has anyone used Hibernate (http://www.hibernate.org) ?
What's the advantage of going for hibernate ?
When should we use it ?
How does it compare with EJB ?


Thanx
Giju

What's the advantage of going for hibernate ?


Its a well written and maintained, pragmatic ORM layer. Much simpler than many others. Opensource, so free to use. It claims to be the quickest too (though I've never benchmarked it - so I'll just have to take their word for it). And the next EJB spec looks like it will borrow heavily from their design.


When should we use it ?


Any time you need an ORM layer.


How does it compare with EJB ?


It doesn't. Hibernate is not a container managed service, it is an ORM layer. So it can be used in conjuction with EJB or not as you require. It can be compared to Entity BEans - but they are so poorly designed that they don't stand up to the comparison too well.
