Hi Stefan, as far as i know JPA is a big part of the new JEE5 world, so it will never drop out completely. And since it by the basics is just a description of interfaces and way to work (basically) the implementation you use isnt tied to sun. You may use Toplink if you want, or Hibernate or Kodo.. or any other framework that implements it. Even if you just want to use only Hibernate, tying it behind JPA is a big plus and makes many things easier (for example, you dont need to take care for a SessionFactory in Hibernate in JEE since a simple annotation is enough to get a EntityManager - and so you dont have to mess around yourself. Need a transaction ? just another annotation over the Method and youre fine).
If you want to have a start , get the NetBeans 5.5 RC1 and Download GlassFish EE Server (Version 1) and you have all you need (incl. Toplink Essentials as ORM bridge for JPA) Regards, Korbinian PS: spring is a part, that i dont like myself because i hate XML config files and this whole messing around with them. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag > von Stefan Kanev > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 5.
