Hi ppl:

i have a mysql server fronted by a java application. I intend to have remote java clients who can directly communicate with the java app to indirectly interract with the mysql server, say they should be able to execute queries/updates using the java app's APIs.

however, it would be good if the clients can get away with just sending the sql in an abstract format, which is re-built by the java app on the server side. (basically, i don't want to transmit the entire sql over the wire, but would rather send it in an abstract format).

does hibernate already provide support for such stuff.

thanks a ton in advance for ur time.

Regards,

hibernate is a ORM, not a raw interaction api for a database.

but it might be that you are simply asking for stuff like the Criteria API which is in "abstract" form.

one could also argue HQL is an abstract form....go read the docs much easier ,)
