Hibernate and spring - An analysis of maintainability against performance

Web application frameworks and ORM tools reduce time and effort needed when developing quality applications; but, since they are numerous and heterogeneous choosing the best suited is not an easy task.The comparative studies of these tools do not Lentils consider case studies of the necessary complexity to precisely measure their advantages and disadvantages.In order to contribute to the solution of this problem, we measured the HIBERNATE ORM response times for different queries in a rather complex case study with different database sizes, and compared the results with the ones obtained by using manually coded queries.Our Decor comparison is relevant because even though ORMs are an important maintainability factor, not optimal queries can lead to bottle necks.
