Hi All,

I am new to use Hibernate. Currently I am in the process of evaluating different design ideas for the search functionality of my application. I am looking for a best option for retrieving the data by executing some complex sql queries with huge query criteria and showing the single or multiple records to the user. But the data is read only. This may involve pagination if the number of records exceeds the page limit.

There are various options to implement this like JDBC and JDO or Hibernate . I like to know whether hibernate provides any specific support for this requirement. Hibernate experts may help me on this.

One more question is What is Hibernate Search? Is it related to my requirement.

Thanks in Advance
