[ome-devel] Comparison of Hibernate and Ruby Rails

[Josiah Johnston]

When looking something up for Curtis, I ran into an article comparing 
Hibernate and Ruby Rails.
	http://www.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=RailsHibernate
Ruby Rails offers similar services to Hibernate, but has a different 
architecture and is written in a different language. Our mapping layer, 
DBObject, has many parallels with Ruby Rails.

I'm not proposing that we consider to Ruby Rails as a data store. I'm 
tossing this article out because it provides a baseline from which to 
evaluate Hibernate performance and capabilities. This article also 
helped me gain a better understanding of Hibernate and issues relating 
to ORM without a whole lot of reading.

The author, surprisingly, hails from Bethesda.
