Hibernate version:2

Mapping documents:2

Name and version of the database you are using: MySQL 4.0.20c


I just wanna ask if it is ok to load list of countries from Hibernate or just hard code in JSP page?

This is because my 1st page is to ask user to select their country. Hence, should I get a list of country from Hibernate or jsut hard code inside the JSP page? If I get from Hibernate everytime, will it waste a lot of resources?

you can cache the countries AND the query you use to get all the countries.
It also depends if you have other object linked to country (meaning somewhere in the db there is a foreign key to country)
