I agree. Here at my current job, we're doing a mix of both approaches where we have a number of domain objects managed by Spring/Hibernate/JPA but then we have a number of dynamically generated queries that don't really equate to domain objects. For those we're using straight SQL to (hopefully) quickly pull that data out of the database. If you want to use hibernate and wicket, there's the databinder which has a number of nice Hibernate-related components to use to help manage your models and the like and there's qwicket that'll help you generate the base spring/wicket setup for you if you choose to use spring. If you go with hibernate, I'd recommend sticking as close to "pure" JPA as you can so that you're not necessarily tied to hibernate but get the benefits of an ORM. You can still drop to native SQL if you'd like using the JPA interfaces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
