Hi All,

We have a legacy (large scale) home-grown application developed 13 years ago. It's working great but it's complete stored procedure based meaning all the biz logics/security are burried in stored proc.

We are planning to redesign this app using Hibernate on JBoss and we need to come up with Business justifications to convince the upper management.


If our redesigned application can perform as fast as (i doubt as the current model is completely stored procedure based) the current one, then why would i need to redesign my application?

If the forum members can share your thoughts on various biz reason why one would want to move to the Java/j2ee/Hibernate model, it would be of great help!

I would greatly appreciate any input on this.

Thanks!
