Annotate a pojo into an entity, implement an interface and define method signatures using reasonable names, such as findHammerByWeight(), and spring implements the methods for you, giving you an injectable repository you can use in all of your other business service or controller classes.

One object use in all modules, no one needs excessive boiler plate code. bonus point with setting unit tests on proxy class and dbobject.

Also, you java code is directly tied to a db connection, unless you store connection urls and passwords externally,this is also made simpler by spring.
