Experiences on integrating cforms and other frameworks like hibernate

[Rice Yeh]

Hi,
  I am starting to use cform to implement web application and I have applied MVC design pattern to the domain problems based on cocoon and cforms. I separate sitemaps into 2 types. The first type is the controller which invokes functions in _javascript_. The second type is the view that is invoked by functions in _javascript_ to show gui to users. Then I come to a problem that although cocoon 2.2 has spring  framework in place but I cannot use it to set  transaction attributes declaratively supported by spring framework because I cannot use functions in _javascript_ as join point. Actually, I like to write flow-like business logics in _javascript_ functions. It is so straight with the help of flowscript. I treat each function in _javascript_ like a flow in a use case. However, many techniques used to work in java language has to be reconsidered like to the above example. For the above example, I am considering to use aspectj or spring aop to advice the map:call (of coure, its java implememtation) to begin a transaction and the sendPage() to commit the transaction based on a parameter passed within map:call which tells the code in the advice whether the _javascript_ function needs a transaction.

The most examples I can get in cform are not needed to access db. So could you guys share your experiences on integrating cforms and other frameworks like hibernate and springframework?
