Why JPA? What's the Point?
843830Jan 1 2008 — edited Jan 12 2008I'm creating a hobby application to learn new technologies. I have been struggling with the JPA portion for months now. What I would like to know is, what is waiting at the end of the tunnel? If I continue struggling with JPA and finally learn it, what have I gained? How is an application that uses JPA better than one that uses SQL statements for database operations?
