Sorry for this question but as far as I know Spring is a alternative to Hibernate.

Is this true?

What is the difference between Spring and Hibernate?

Is there a comparison article somewhere ?

I think...
Spring offer Hibernate user a template to use Hibernate easier.
The things Spring done are admin hibernate sessionFactory,get a session ,close a Session.

Spring have no orm solutions.

No. Spring is not an alternative for hibernate or vice versa.
Hibernate provides a lot of feasibility while dealing with the database (connections,insertion etc). It provides with ORM (Object Relational Mapping) where in you are able to perform database transaction is the form of objects mapped to corresponding table, using configuration xml files.

Spring, on the other hand is a framework that helps you follow the MVC(Mode View Controller) architecture in an effective and efficient way. It simplifies writing back end code as well as front end(JSP etc) stuff providing clear demarcation simultanoeusly.
You just need to go through Spring and Hibernate separately, you can easily figure out the difference

So I can use Spring without Hibernate and Hibernate without Spring? Is this correct?

ya u can use hibernate without spring also..
actually spring is a different framework from hibernate..
hibernate for persistence layer and spring for presentation layer..
i hope u had a idea abt layered approach in software..
they are
1.presentation layer .. in that layer spring,struts,velocity,swing etc., comes
2.Business layer ... here business logic comes
3.database layer.. in that layer hibernate comes

More info search on layered approach in google...
