Hi all,
I’ve been looking into the current state of tapestry-hibernate and
tapestry-hibernate-core, which currently target Hibernate 5.4.32. Given
that Hibernate 5 is now quite old, I wanted to raise the question of
whether there has been any recent discussion or ongoing work around
supporting Hibernate 6 or 7.
After reviewing the modules, they appear to be relatively lightweight
integration layers focused mainly on:
* SessionFactory/bootstrap integration
* request/session lifecycle management
* transaction handling (@CommitAfter, etc.)
* IOC wiring and entity scanning
At first glance, this does not appear to require a complete rewrite,
although the Hibernate 5 to 6 transition is obviously substantial due
to:
* Jakarta migration (javax.persistence → jakarta.persistence)
* bootstrap/API changes
* transaction/session SPI changes
* removal/refactoring of some Hibernate internals
My assumption is that most of the real work would likely be:
1. achieving Hibernate 6 compatibility first
2. stabilizing lifecycle/transaction behavior
3. then moving on to Hibernate 7
Since Tapestry itself has already undergone the recent javax to jakarta
migration, I’m curious whether anyone has already:
* experimented with upgrading the Hibernate modules
* created a branch or proof-of-concept
* investigated compatibility blockers
* or discussed a roadmap for this work
If not, I’d also be interested in hearing whether the community sees
value in modernizing the Hibernate integration versus potentially
steering users toward thinner JPA-only integration approaches.
Kind regards,
Chris.
