Has anyone done a comparison of entity EJBs with products such as Hibernate?

Thanks.

I haven't, but let's put it this way: most people who used entity EJBs
were quite dissatisfied with the experience. The next version of EJB is
supposed to be "based on" hibernate (for certain values of "based on").

I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

The value seems to be "use whatever persistence framework you like
underneath, we default to JDO".

As with the BMP vs. CMP case, the EJB lifecycle isn't dependent on how
ejbStore() and ejbLoad() are actually implemented, and they might as
well use Hibernate.
