Hi all,

I've been reading about JPA but every time I see JPA, I also see the word EJB. In my mind EJB = evil: difficult, impractical, obsolete, technology for the sake of vendors and basically something I want nothing to do with. I realize this is a preconceived notion that might be reevaluated but why would I?

I think that using JPA is basically a standardized wrapper around Hibernate supporting any type of persistence Hibernate would support, but I just want to be sure. Does using JPA mean I start using EJB or will I still be in POJO country?

Kind regards,

Marc

Cheers,
