Currently I have a database layer which I am considering replacing with Hibernate but I am have a couple of concerns.

Current State: We generate the source classes from the database as xxxxDataModel and then extend then with xxxxModel to add encapsulated business logic.

We also generate all the insert, update, delete statements and accompaning mapping to prepared statements.

We also update our database with a unique identifier for each field/column to support auto generation of AbstractTableModel interfaces to map JTable cells back to the business object and ultimately the database.

I do see advantages to Hibernate with the caching, clustering, better db relation support etc.

So will I still be able to have this form control mapping back to the objects?

I suspect so but want to confirm that this is all possible.
