Comparing EJB 3 with Spring and Hibernate
The limitations of EJB2 led to the development of the extremely popular Spring and Hibernate frameworks. These frameworks replaced the cumbersome EJB2 programming model with a nimble, non-invasive Plain Old Java Object (POJO) –based model. But, now, the EJB3 specification has embraced many of the ideas made popular by Spring and Hibernate including POJOs, transparent persistence and dependency injection.
So what’s the future of Spring and Hibernate? Are they obsolete? In this presentation, you will learn the answers to these and other questions. We describe how EJB 3 persistence compares to Hibernate and how EJB3 services such as transaction management and dependency injection compare with those provide by Spring. You will learn the benefits and drawbacks of each of these frameworks.
