What is the difference between hibernate and spring JDBC template? List any advantages and disadvantages

Spring provides hibernate template and it has many advantages like
1) It removes boiler plate code like getting connection from data source, try/catch block for closing connection. So that developer can focus on writing business logic rather then writing boilier plate code every where.

2) Spring hibernateTemplate also throws RunTime exception compared to checkd exception which allows to remove writing try/catch block in each DAO.

3) It also gives richer template class, using which developer can write query code easily. This template class also allows to get session explicitly, so if developer wants to get session object and work on it, then it's possible.

Spring provides support for both hibernate and JDBC.It provides template classes which contains all common code.But JDBC as we all know is not an ORM tool it does not represent rows as objects whereas Hibernate does that.

JdbcTemplate is configured in spring configuration file like first datasource object is created and then datasource object is given to jdbcTemplate using setter method and jdbcTemplate object is given to EmpObject.So in the Emp class we write the code for executing the select statement or insertion statement directly like given jdbcTemplate.execute(sqlquery);Here the advantage is no need of exception management and no need of getting datasource object.And no need of resource closing.In the same way we can use HibernateTemplate class which should be configured in spring configuration file.and it is used in Dao class directly
