Java Persistence/Hibernate
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
Hibernate was an open source project developed by a team of Java software developers around the world led by Gavin King. JBoss, Inc. (now part of Red Hat) later hired the lead Hibernate developers and worked with them in supporting Hibernate.
The current version of Hibernate is Version 3.x. Hibernate provides both a proprietary POJO API, and JPA support.
