| In this thesis we introduced a new persistence framework: Hibernate. Hibernate is an open source object-relational mapping framework. It includes some important differences from JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) and Enterprise JavaBean. Based on experiments in this thesis, we have a rough performance estimate between JDBC and Hibernate. Through analysis, comparisons and experiments, we found that Hibernate is a better persistence framework than implementing Enterprise JavaBean or straight JDBC (Java Database Connectivity). We also found that introducing Hibernate into Enterprise JavaBean is a better approach for enterprise application environments in terms of further analysis and implementations, which not only makes good use of Enterprise JavaBean advantages such as transaction handling, but also uses Hibernate advantages such as flexibility and good performance. |
