Is Spring + Hibernate the best for web apps?

just looking for a couple of great opinions

I started with JSF+Spring+Hibernate, and it was wonderful. Hibernate makes DB abstraction so logical and simplifies work a lot. Then Spring help 开发者_Go百科me get rid of the nth new() constructors and help me deal with transactions nicely.

Been doing the same for a couple years but now I got a project with GWT, I can still use Spring+Hibernate but make me wonder if thats truly the ultimate recipe for webapps, or if there is a better/newer way to do things.

All I know is I can't live without ORM and that Hibernate without Spring is painful. Comments?

We put together a common architecture platform for our applications back in '06 based on Hibernate, Spring and GWT and it works well for a number of our applications. If starting from scratch now, I would have used JPA with Hibernate as a provider instead of using straight Hibernate and, possibly, used the MVP framework for GWT instead of rolling own MVC framework.

Well still Hibernate and spring make a perfect couple.We are using same pair for our so many projects and they are working without any problem.

Hibernate abstracts all painful pitfalls while working with DB layer while spring has the magic to handle all dependencies you need in your project

We in few application using Struts2+Spring+Hibernate combination and they are working perfectly

i believe the same will be with GWT

GWT is client side technology (it compiles down to js+html). The only part of GWT on the server side is a servlet that you need if you use RPC. Servlets, as you know, play nicelly with spring+hibernate.

So, GWT will play nicelly with your (possibly existing) spring+hibernate business logic.
