I think that OpenJPA might be an easier choice for migration, because we are mostly using EntityManager-based operations anyways. And I can absolutely understand why people are not in love with Hibernate. Not only is the license not fitting, it is also a much too complex piece of software, and the community and developers are very unfriendly and unresponsive when you have questions. > Greetings, Sebastian -- | Dr. Sebastian Schaffert [email protected] | Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft http://www.salzburgresearch.at | Head of Knowledge and Media Technologies Group +43 662 2288 423 | Jakob-Haringer Strasse 5/II | A-5020 Salzburg
