JBoss CMP versus Hibernate

UPDATE 07/26/05
I stuck with Hibernate. Very simply put, they both have many of the same benefits--declarative programming, transactions, etc. But EJB introduces a whole layer of overhead realted to remote access. Unless you are doing a true N-tier, highly distributed application, I don't think that overhead is warranted.

I am starting to look at a persistence technologies for an application I am working on in JBoss 4.0.2. I am currently looking at the (built in) Hibernate in JBoss versus CMP. SO far I am just kicking the tires, gathering info. If you come across this, please feel free to comment.

Harshad Oak has a posting on the topic with comments.

Right now, I can't see any reason why not to use Hibernate: I can use pojos, but still get transactions. I don't see the benefit of creating EJBs for every entity we need to persist.
