title: Calling stored procedures from Java - modern alternatives to Spring JDBC?
body: <p>I've been using Spring JDBC's SimpleJdbcCall. I find very helpful, but still not simple and slick enough for me. Ideally I imagine a JDBC call not being distinquishable from an ordinary Java method call.</p>
  
  <p>Seeing that many lightweight ORM frameworks have appeared in Java lately (e.g. Ebean), I wanted to ask if there is analogous development in the direction of stored procedures?</p>
