Hi all,
I have to persist some files attached to an object using hibernate with MySQL.
Can you tell me which is the best way to do it or point me into the right direction?

Thanks.

Several ways to do that:

1) store the entire file content in a BLOB field (or possibly a CLOB for files containing only text).
2) store the files on the filesystem somewhere and store the location the files are stored as a VARCHAR in the database.

the second is usually better performant, but of course more brittle as the database now depends on external resources for consistency.
