Hi Joel,
It was and interesting discution and usefull from many aspects.
I also would advice not to "kill" candidate with your questions - you might
need to work with him. And good relationships often overweights technology
decisions.
In praparation on Hibernate discution you might want to look into this article
(it's short) which list main points -

Luckily for me, I am not doing the hiring, nor the real interviews. I have
been invited if I desire to question the candidate with respect to the
database. I appreciate all the good advice everyone has given me, and I will
definitely use a lot of it.
First I will speak with the actual interviewer to be on the same page, which is
the main goal before appearing in the same room with the candidate. One thing
I have learned already is that he like tools like Hibernate which he believes
renders actual coding (PL/SQL) less relevant. However, a caveat here is there
is somewhat of a language barrier, and he also agrees that the best place for
SQL is in the database.
So…I’m going one step at a time, and just want someone who agrees with the main
points presented here which boils down to, are you easy to get along with and
learn, can you code PL/SQL. We don’t expect him to be doing the modeling.
With those skills and attributes we should be able to get good delelopment
efforts. It is a senior java development position.
