Glad you like it! Spread the word :) I've used Hibernate + WebWork2 in a couple projects, and I always used the design that spawned from our (Mike/Joe/Ara/Mine) upcoming book that involves writing Yet Another PetStore. Basically, we used the IoC support offered by XWork and the following:
* PersistenceManager interface * HibernatePersistenceManager class * PersistenceAware interface * HibernateConfiguration The HPM class was scoped at _request_ scope in components.xml and depended on another component, HibernateConfiguration, that is scoped at _application_ level so that we can keep a single SessionFactory around. Hope that helps. -Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anoop Ranganath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 8:31 PM Subject: [OS-webwork] hibernate/webwork2 best practices > I just started using WebWork2 yesterday, and I'm sold.
