Hi all,

When we should use Hybernate?

WHen I create a web appliaction, business layer communicates with db layer
(Session Beans/Entity Beans to Database), where or what is the need for a
persistence layer called Hybernate? Please help.

Thanks and regards,
Ravi

If you were to use H*I*bernate in this confiuration, you'd basically forego
using Entity Beans. Entity Beans are the persistence component of a
"generic" J2EE application, and Hibernate essentially overlaps much of that
functionality.

You could mix and match the too, but if you're designing and developing from
scratch, there's no reason. Just pick one technology and move forward.

Do you mean Hibernate?

When you don't want to use Entity Beans, one option (among many) is
Hibernate.
