Don't let the old object-relational impedance mismatch get the best of you or your data. Compare ORM tools Hibernate and iBATIS and the Java Persistence API itself, and find out how each one makes it easier to access your RDBMS using Java code.

Object-relational mapping in Java is a tricky business, and solutions like JDBC and entity beans have met with less than overwhelming enthusiasm. But a new generation of ORM solutions has since emerged. These tools allow for easier programming and a closer adherence to the ideals of object-oriented programming and multi-tiered architectural development. Learn how Hibernate, iBATIS, and the Java Persistence API compare based on factors such as query-language support, performance, and portability across different relational databases. In this article we introduce and compare two of the most popular open source persistence frameworks, iBATIS and Hibernate. We also discuss the Java Persistence API(JPA). We introduce each solution and discuss its defining qualities, as well as its individual strengths and weaknesses in broad application scenarios. We then compare iBATIS, Hibernate, and JPA based on factors such as performance, portability, complexity, and adaptability to data model changes
