We had the same issue, and here's an example of the way that we implemented the same sort of thing..... It could probably be made better, but it works :)
First create your own request handler... public class MyRequestCycle extends WebRequestCycle { protected Log log = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass()); public MyRequestCycle(WebApplication application, WebRequest request, Response response) { super(application, request, response); } @Override protected void onEndRequest() { if(log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("In onEndRequest"); } try { HibernateUtil.closeSession(); } catch (PersistenceException e) { log.error(e); } super.onEndRequest(); } ...then reference it in your WebApplication (maybe in a abstract class) public abstract class MyBaseApplication extends WebApplication { protected Log log = LogFactory.getLog(this.getClass()); @Override public RequestCycle newRequestCycle(Request request, Response response) { return new MyRequestCycle(this, (WebRequest)request, (WebResponse)response); } I hope that this helps.

It isn't-it's a common practise. Ok :) I just had a look at DataBinder.net, that was more heavy-weght. Is there any short introduction available on how to implement onEndRequest() -hook, or is the best reference to just have a look at the respective code of DataBinder.net? ** Martin > > On Sun, Aug 3, 2008 at 2:28 PM, Martin Makundi > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Anything lighter?
