I’m searching for free and simple DAO generator for java (it needs to create entities/bens from db tables/views and generate basic CRUD code). Currently, I`m using DAO4J which lacks some functionality like views mapping. I know that there are frameworks like Hibernate but I dont need such robust framework.

Some things this framework should have to do:

  • Generate CRUD operations with standard SQL queries and not compile-time typesafe queries
  • Doesn’t have session concept like hibernate
  • Will not automatically close connection
  • JDBC Connection can be configured through code

    None of these are perfect matches, but both rock, in their own individual way:

    1. Spring Roo generates DAOs, Web
      Controllers and more for you.
    2. QueryDSL automatically creates Objects from your database tables and offers an Object-Oriented query syntax with compile-time safety.

    But I’d say the winner is Spring Data. It offers a simple but powerful abstraction over many different underlying data store technologies and generates daos for you automatically. Here’s a presentation of Spring Data JPA. Unfortunately Spring Data has not been released in final versions yet.
