Ok so if I chose to use solely hibernate would there be anything wrong with putting code like this into my action?:
factory = (SessionFactory)request.getSession().getServletContext().getAttribute(Hibern atePlugIn.SESSION_FACTORY_KEY); session = factory.openSession(); Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction(); myProspect = (Prospect)session.get(Prospect.class, id); tx.commit(); session.close(); Ultimately I'll have to build some kind of a util class to handle giving me sessions etc.. but in the short term for testing is this proper?
