<snip> Nice summary thanks Ted. I chose to go with Hibernate for my project (which fits the ORM category above perfectly) and am very happy with it so far. Relatively short learning curve (even for a Java/Struts newbie like me). After slugging it out with log4j, and the Struts validator, it was a piece of cake to implement. I am only doing simple stuff with it at the moment, but have no complaints (just wish that it had been around 8 years ago!).
