Hi
Matthias
Here is what our class heirarchy
looks like. I'm still in the process of documenting and refactoring it but you
should be able to get the general idea. We use the threadlocal pattern for
managing Hibernate sessions and transactions. All this detail is provided in the
AbstractUIBean which provides all services for managing page state,
materializing Hibernate objects and managing transactions, getting session beans
etc. The Page and Table abstract classes provide utility methods for manaign
individual instances or lists of Hibernate objects. We also have a class
of hibernate-aware converters which know how to convert primary and
foreign -key values of objects into correct domain values for the
view.
Hibernate itself is initialized via
a filter and preloads as many objects into the second level cache as is useful
on app start.
An implementation with
respect to a single class of business objects looks like this. Each interface
(Deletable, Searchable etc.) uses a JSF fragment which is included into the JSF
page. Our JSF pages are heaviy templated with lots of includes for all common
groups of attributes of our business objects.

Hi Julian
Well in the presentation layer you have the jsp's and the
backing beans. In the domain layer you have hibernate resp. the persitence
classes. And between them you have this shale-like framework. Do I understand
that right?
regards
Matthias

We use Hibernate and JSF but don't use Spring. We use a
Shale-like framework where each JSF view has a single backing bean which is
Hibernate-session-aware. Works great.

Subject: Combine Hibernate and JSF, but how?
Hi
everyone
I'm wonder if it is
neccesary to use Spring Framework to combine Hibernate and JSF. What is you
experience in that topic? I can imagine that many people use Hibernate
as o/r mapper. Where can I finde some resources (articles or books) for a
strategy or overview howto combine plain Hibernate with plain JSF for a three
layer architecture. I know theoretically it is possibly to write some business
logic in den managed beans from JSF. This is the form centric approach Kito Mann
discripes in his book JSF in Action. But that isn't what I want. I'm a beginner
in both topics (hibernate and jsf) and for me it's no clear how this fit
together. Is it recommended to use Spring to stick this two worlds togehter? Is
that a good way to use Spring?
Many thanks, I'm a
little bit confused.
regards
Matthias
