For the service layer, just use plain Java interfaces/objects, you can expose these for your web services very easily using Glue or Axis (would highly recommend Glue). The Spring framework (www.springframework.org) has very nice Hibernate support for easily using sessions and transactions. It provides some other stuff, such as a web framework, but it's mostly a la carte, you can use the Hibernate support without using the rest of it.
