Hibernate transactions requires JTA. I'm not sure what the license on

One option is to make the petstore a java.net project. I'm not crazy
about shipping a WAR that is missing a key dependency. The other
option is to not ship the WAR at all and just provide very detailed
instructions on how to build the app using maven.
I agree, for the people who don't read the instructions, the
perception will be that the example app is "broken".
I was also going to suggest just shipping this one as source. We will
have to exclude the the incompatibly licensed dependencies from the
default build, which means 'mvn install' would still build a war that
doesn't work. (Back to that 'reading the directions' thing again. :)
). But 'mvn install -Phibernate' would.
(Just a thought... have a context listener check for the required
dependencies and set a flag, then have a Filter check for the flag and
and display a page of instructions if anything is missing. Something
along the lines of the 'Happy Axis' page. Would that work?)
I'm almost ready to show the initial checkin but I have a few issues
with Hibernate and lazy collections. If anybody has experience with
Hibernate and wants to help, that would be great.
James, probably. But if it's mostly working, go ahead and check it in
and start another thread about the problem. I'm at NFJS this weekend,
and 'Advanced Hibernate' is this afternoon. Maybe I can work it in as
a question. :)
