Spring framework has a full-fledge support for the Database Access Objects(DAO). Spring’s support of DAO is not limited with the relational database like MySQL , Oracle , etc . It has support for Object Relational Databases like , HSQL , JDO etc. Whan I talk about suppot it means a lot of things.

Before going into the details , let us ask a question to ourselves .What is the real problem in coding a JDBC without a framework support ?

Spring is a very good modular framework. Each module of the framework can be used depending on the various need in an application. Lets take an example of a J2EE-based web application which can use Spring-DAO module for it’s data base layer or Spring-MVC to make the navigation between Model-View-Controller more modular and testable.
But , there might be a situation where Spring-MVC is not your need , rather you would like to take advantage of Spring-DAO module along with normal servlets and jsps. What to do then ?
