Kristof,

We welcome your voice to the discussion. I have no issue with Hibernate. I use it everyday. I am looking for viable alternatives. If this is indeed the case, feel free to post your opinion. The iBatis folks all over the thread so of course real ORM framework opinions are welcome.

When we wrote Crank (an open source CRUD framework), we wrote it to work with OpenJPA and Hibernate with hope that OpenJPA would do well in developer mindshare.

Why I realize that Rick (and this list particularly) mainly looks for
pro-OpenJPA reasons here on the topic, I cant resist adding the reason why I
cannot use OpenJPA over Hibernate at the moment:

I simply cannot find or build any working example and/or configuration sample or docs using weaving enabled OpenJPA in a Spring environment which would work both
running on a server and started without a container for unit tests.

thanks,
Kristof

Although not an in-depth report:

I've used Hibernate, NHibernate, and OpenJPA. I found the Hibernates to
be easier to use and less prone to errors. It also offers functionality
that isn't offered in OpenJPA (such as an IsDirty method) and the
CASCADE options are smarter in Hibernate. Also the portability to
NHibernate makes it that much easier if you develop onm multiple
platforms.

Personally I only use OpenJPA when I must (i.e., when it's been decreed
or when maintaining an existing project).

Has anyone done a comparison of Hibernate versus OpenJPA that compares
ease-of-use, caching, tool support, legacy integration, etc.? Perhaps
such an internal report was used to decide which ORM tool to pick. If
so, what were the results?
