ORM frame work

hello every one:

I am new to the ORM and looking to generate DAOs for one of my applications. A small search shows that there are many of this frame works for ORM and persistence. I am not looking to use persistence at this point. All I need is to generate DAOs from my existing mysql design. The APIs I came accross makes the task of choosing which one harder (Hibernate, JDO, torque , iBatis ... etc). Did any one had to do a research about which one to start with ?
