Hi,

Having played around with Geronimo 2.0.2, Spring and Hibernate a bit for the last couple of days, I have attached a transaction manager lookup for Geronimo to the Hibernate JIRA HHH-1368 ( http:// opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ HHH-1368 ).

Considering how simple this class is, for how long that JIRA has been open, and how little information I have been able to find on using Hibernate with Geronimo, I'm curious as to whether I'm missing something critical?

Anyone have any comments on using Hibernate with the "java:comp/ UserTransaction" and "java:/TransactionManager"? I should warn, that I have only been doing a bit of testing, doing simple select and insert (through a Hibernate Session of course) in an EBJ3 SLSB with CMT.

I've been wondering for a while why this should be necessary.... are
you using Hibernate as a jpa provider or using the non-standard
interfaces?  I would expect no such adapter should be necessary using
Hibernate as a jpa provider.  If you are using the non-standard
interfaces I'm curious what they provide that isn't available through
jpa.

I'm using Hibernate Core (non-standard). Looking into using OpenJPA or an alternative such as Hibernate EntityManager, is on my to-do list. I just wanted to get the familiar Spring+Hibernate (Core) running first. As such, I can't say to what extend (if any) I need to use Hibernate Core instead of JPA.

Is there any reason why Hibernate Core shouldn't be supported on Geronimo (implied it uses Geronimo managed DataSource and JTA/CMT transactions)? Seems to me that the Spring+Hibernate combination is pretty common.

I have no problem with supporting Hibernate Core on geronimo, I was curious about whether there was something in the hibernate JPA support that required a transaction manager jndi lookup as I think this is not expected by the jpa spec. IIUC you have not tested that yet :-)

thanks
