What's the big deal with embedded SQL? Does it expose security vulnerabilities for the dbase? Why is there an SQL taglib then?
I used to play around with 'persistence' by working with cached rowsets (CRS) and ObjectDB (JDOQL). Isn't Hibernate like a middle layer Object-Relational Bridge? I wasn't able to get that to work, and their support wasn't any help. Maybe things are better now. Keep SQL as far away from your Java code as possible and keep it even farther away from your JSPs. There are several good frameworks, in particular I recommend: - Hibernate -- www.hibernate.org - iBATIS -- www.ibatis.com My personal favorite is iBATIS, but both are excellent frameworks for handling database activity without sacrificing your OO integrity. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://www.magnolia.info/en/magnolia/developer.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
