问题:

I am starting a normal Java SE project and i am planning to use JPA/Hibernate. I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to what is considered the best way to interact with Hibernate in this environment (data access layers)?

回答1:

I'm not sure what's considered the best approach to this, but at my workplace, we have based most of our Hibernate interaction on these articles:

Don't let Hibernate steal your identity and Generic Data Access Objects

They show you how to make your mapped classes in a smart way, and how to implement a generic DAO that can be reused for any persistent class. This has worked out nicely for us.

Here is the guide for using JPA with Hibernate

We have used this approach in our application 1.5 years back and I do not think there is anything new in SE6 related to this. We have worked with JDK 5 with heavily used annotations.
