I must confess that I am somewhat overwhelmed by all these tools available in java community.. I still remember those good old days where I hardcoded html codes and sql queries inside my servlet *heheh..*..
Then come jsp, enhydra, dods,.....etc...., struts.. ojb.. etc etc.. Now the question shifts.., instead of scratching my head trying to figure out a certain code.. I am scratching my head trying to figure out which platform/framework/OR tools should I use for my project.... *sigh*.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff Rowley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 3:50 PM Subject: [OT] Hibernate recommendation > Greetings :) > > You know those days where everything is going right.
