title: The best way to connect to database with Spring MVC
body: <p>I have done some research but I haven't come to a final conclusion yet.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to connect to MySQL DB when having Spring MVC + tomcat?</p>
  
  <p>Is it Hibernate, JPA, JDBC or Hibernate/JPA?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Sara.</p>
