Developer required to port ActionScript extensions to Java

We have a ActionScript-based Smartfox server extension code, which we would like to port to native Java and optionally add a hibernate-layer to enhance performance.

No location preference. Open to freelance projects. Past experience a must.

Hi, just of curiosity, how do you expect to enhance performance using Hibernate? It will add additional layer between your DBMS and your application, so it can hardly speed it up :) ORM's like Hibernate are good because of their features and they allow for more rapid development, but they will not enhance performance of your application.

It would be nice if you could write a bit more detail about application you are porting to Java. How big it is, what features it has, and so on :)

Here's what we would like to have :
1) Implement extensions in Java - would execute faster execution than ActionScript, is more modular than AS2-style scripting, and has no filesize restrictions on Extensions
2) Use an ORM to manage all the models - all the independent SQLs can otherwise be a nightmare to manage
3) SFS doesn't cache requests at the database level - instead of modifying the app code, would like to consider a product like ehcache over hibernate.
