Issues in Hibernate Technology

The Hibernate technology allows programmers to ignore database design work - as it is an engine sitting between the front end and the database. However, the technology can ignore updating the database while simply updating the logic and processing within the java and xml. This leads to a disconnect with other systems (like a business intelligence system) which are still dependent on the values stored in the database. These systems would not know that information is displayed differently than what is stored in the database.
