Java Forum / General / August 2007Java Enterprise Edition evaluation
Hi all, I'm currently trying to evaluate all the possible frameworks that are out on the web for my next project, namely a Web Application that acts as a simulation of a financial system. This means that I have to have a good persistence framework, an easy way to implement business logic and an easy way to translate the data into HTML-Pages. As for the persistence framework it would be nice to have something flexible enough so that I can add an external workhorse that takes care of the simulation itself. So far I have the following list of things to consider: - Persistence - Hibernate - OJB -Display/Logic - Spring - Tapestry - EJB What do you think about them? Regards, Christian decker -- http://www.snyke.net I think that's quite enough, try servlets as well > I think that's quite enough, try servlets as well I favor knowing how to tune a car before talking to the mechanic. I'd start with JSP and servlets with Java Server Faces (JSF) and the Java Persistence API. (I am just starting to learn the Persistence API. I actually started with JSP, servlets, coding my own MVC framework and writing my own data access framework.) That really makes one appreciate frameworks like JSF, Struts, Persistence API, Hibernate or whatever, because now one groks from first-hand experience what they're accomplishing. Or failing to accomplish. I've worked with people who knew the Struts API cold but didn't understand the Model-View-Controller concept. It led to some peculiar choices. I have doubts about many of these frameworks. I haven't used Hibernate, but I worked on a project that used Torque, another "object-relational" framework. Yecch. It's easier to just code PreparedStatements with JDBC. I found the overhead of Torque egregious, and it restricted me from much of the power of the database.

The problem is that I want this application to be build on top of solid foundations as it might grow over time, and I'm currently very interested in the spring framework. I also used some MVC-Frameworks on client applications and I feel pretty comfortable with it. As for the tradeoff of ease to program and speed using Hibernate, yeah that might be a problem later in the productive environment but as I understand it, it shouldn't be too hard to exchange the persistence layer when using Spring. Anything I'm missing?

I think that Spring *and* Hibernate is a very common combination. It is probably more common than any other Spring and database access combination - including JdbcTemplate.
