so i thouht two kinds of way
1. using spring ORM

2. using sessionFactory of hibernate

which is the better architecure? and where can i find a good information?

It's not either Spring ORM or sessionFactory or Hibernate. Spring facilitates the use of Hibernate (in case you have chosen Hibernate as your ORM tool).

So first make a choice for a specific ORM tool (Hibernate, JDO, TopLink, iBatis, whichever suits your needs) and then use Spring to facilitate the use of it (resource management, transaction-session synchronisation, etcera).

I think you should have a look at the petclinic sample application. It uses Hibernate (without SLSB though).
