Hi, If you're looking for simplicity, I'd suggest you go for sql2java (sourceforge). It's absolutely independent and automatic. In a few words, it's a class generator. It analyzes your database and automatically generates the DAO classes (the Java source, and even the javadocs) for it, including the DAO Manager. Then, when using the classes, you may initialize the DAO Manager at your free will, i.e. it doesn't use any config file. You provide the connection parameters or the DataSource to be used.
