Hi, I wanted to update Hibernate component [1] to the latest version of Hibernate (i.e. 4). The problem is however that Hibernate component uses spring-orm module. And since Hibernate 4 is supported from Spring >= 3.1 [2], so we basically cannot update Hibernate (as Camel 2.x uses Spring 3.0).
I decided then to remove mandatory Spring dependencies from the Hibernate component and stick to the pure Hibernate API. I committed the refactoring to the Hibernate component in rev928. By default Hibernate component uses only Hibernate API. If somebody wants Hibernate transactions to be handled via the Spring Transaction API, she can configure it on the component level by setting the SpringTransactionStrategy. Maven dependency to spring-tx is now marked as optional. As my refactoring is a major change in the internals of the component I would be grateful for the peer review. BTW Hibernate component documentation [1] could use some elaboration. And we need more tests for this component. But this is another story... Laters.
