It appears that you're still a student and you've asked for a "...simple way to access a database."
My suggestion, start with JDBC. From there, you can investigate other options including, but not limited to, DbUtils, iBatis, Hibernate, EJB entity beans, etc. Scott Ambler has a nice article you might be interested in: http://www.ambysoft.com/essays/persistenceLayer.html -Dennis Asad Habib <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/19/2006 10:10 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> To user@struts.apache.org cc Subject Database Access What are the different ways in designing the persistence layer so that it works with a Struts application? I am looking for a simple way to access a database. Should I use hibernate? Are there any articles online that discuss these alternatives and their tradeoffs?
