It's a pretty open ended question. I'll be starting out a new project and am looking at different ORMs to integrate with database access.
Do you have any favorites? Are there any you would advise staying clear of?
Answer
I have stopped using ORMs.
The reason is not any great flaw in the concept. Hibernate works well. Instead, I have found that queries have low overhead and I can fit lots of complex logic into large SQL queries, and shift a lot of my processing into the database.
So consider just using the JDBC package.
