Which pattern are most people using for Hibernate EJB? Are you using hibernate in BMP, or using it directly in your session beans?

I'd like to take advantage of the benefits of EJB (declarative security, thread safety etc), but I've been using hibernate for a couple of years and I'd prefer to continue to use it for persistence.

Even a one-line asnwer would be greatly appreciated,

TIA

Using Hibernate directly in your Session Beans is the way to go IMHO, and thats the setup everybody I have heard of so far uses.

Using BMP avoid you to separate object model from data access.

I use SLSB calling a POJO process doing the real stuff.
I allow me to change the front-end if needed (WS, Direct access, etc...)
