Hibernate

Enterprise network applications must be able to access data stored in relational databases, and when the application is written in Java, there are several different ways to accomplish this. Most of them, such as JDO and JDBC, are complicated. Hibernate, the new "bleeding edge" open source technology, is a simple yet powerful way to work with data in relational databases. The Java-based tool is free, and relatively easy for developers to learn and use. This is the only complete guide to Hibernate available.
