Andreas,
Thanks for your response.

unfortunately I can't tell you any experiences but one question comes

in Spring?
No, but I've never really relied on Hibernate templates except as a
convenience. I think you're referring to DAOs extending the
HibernateDaoSupport class, which supports getTemplate().saveOrUpdate
(foo) or something like that?
Right now, our DAOs are just injecting the session from the Hive and
using it directly, according to the open session in view pattern[1].
I could write a convenience super-class, like HibernateDaoSupport, if
one doesnt exist, if I run into the need for it.
That was the main reason for me to use Spring but perhaps
Hivemind is even better (because you don't have the Spring dependancy
anymore as hivemind is needed for tapestry anyway)?
Hrm ... I'm probably missing the compelling reason to use the Spring
idea of Hibernate templates. The best I like most is the declarative
transactions in the config. - both frameworks support that for
Hibernate. On the other hand, my first instinct would be to avoid the
complexity of having Spring *and* Hivemind *and* Tapestry.
I've only just begun learning it but Hivemind has been able to do
everything I've wanted from IoC so far; albeit the configuration is
very verbose compared to Spring's.
Cheers,
Nick
