Object Relational Mapping (Hibernate)

Since GWT seens to be a good framework for the UI AJAX development, it's time to think about the Database.

Hibernate seens to be the most popular ORM framework. This tutorial on Hibernate provides a good introduction to the technology.

The database model most likely will be simple (at least on the first versions) and would not necessarily need an ORM but in order to allow for easier evolution and enhance the overall quality of the software we decided to adopt Hibernate as the standard at the early stages of defining the platform.
