I've been ramping back up working on the book, so if you are in the publisher's early access program, you should start seeing new chapters soon. When you say Hibernate, are you using it as a JPA provider? I'd have to look, but I think I am using Hibernate in the book as the JPA provider (it's either Hibernate or OpenJPA). Are you currently using Spring? I can't really tell if you are saying that you are or aren't. If so, make sure you add the OpenEntityManagerInView filter (I think that's what it is called). The example app I have up on the google code site for the book has a set of spring configs that should work, although I don't know if it is the one I use with pooling. Let me know and I can post one that uses commons-dbcp for connection pooling. If you aren't using Spring there is an opensessioninview interceptor (or is it a filter?) in the struts wiki somewhere. Although Hibernate's session and JPA's EntityManager aren't exactly identical, the need for something to keep the session/entitymanager open while the view is rendering remains. Anyhow, I will have a section on unit testing in the book. I plan to cover basics of JUnit, but to give more details on the mock classes and helper classes like StrutsTestCase that can be helpful if you need the dispatcher initialized. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
