Maybe it's just my opinion, but I'd rather make a few simple java beans than deal with lots of JDBC code that is completely locked in to a particular DB vendor. But... To each his own. Use what works for you. :) Heck, I liked Hibernate so much I joined the project! So perhaps my opinion is biased. ;) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
