Hi, I found Hibernate to be less complex than EJBs and it does the job for what I need. You can reverse-engineer an existing database to create JavaBean classes from it, you can take existing javabeans and generate database-generation SQL code to create the tables, and a lot of other useful things. And guess what ? It's free.
http://hibernate.bluemars.net/ Using Hibernate is as simple as : ------------------------------------------------------------------ Session ses = SessionFactory.getSession(); MyBean bean = new MyBean(); bean.setProperty("property value"); ses.save(bean); ses.flush(); ------------------------------------------------------------------ And you bean is saved in your database!!
