Hi!
WOW that was quick.
If you also have an exitsing ApplicationContext.xml file and an
example DAO, that would help a lot.
I specially dont know what object will be injected into the DAO
instead of the EntityManager from the regular examples.
Ok, I took the time to setup the long awaited orchestra goodies project [1].
There you'll find a myfaces-orchestra-hibernate which consists of two
modules.
* myfaces-orchestra-hibernate-core
* myfaces-orchestra-hibernate-examples
The core currently just holds the HibernatePersistencesContextFactory.
The examples module holds a VERY simple (and probaby wrong -
quick-and-dirty - from the top of my head hacked) test app.
Just checkout the tree as described here [2] and do a "mvn install",
afterwards cd into the examples module and call "mvn jetty:run". This
will startup a local servlet container waiting on port 9090 for your
browser to connect.
The simple example shows that the entities are the same between the
requests which indicates an ongoing conversation and allows you to
easily change their data. The Button "new Conversation" invalidates the
current conversation which will start a new one immediately - resulting
in new instances of the entity objects.
As you might see, the example use a simple DAO extending the
HibernateDaoSupport. Wheter you use this or any other Spring way to deal
with Hibernate is upt to you, also if you use the @Transactional
annotation for transaction demarcation or not is up to you. Any standard
Spring way should do the trick.
Orchestra transparently sits in between and ensures to provide the same
(Hibernate)Session for the ongoing conversation.
I hope everything is setup correctly, else come up again.
Ciao,
Mario
