Hi John,
- Can I do Meta data merging out of container?
You need to have RIFE's classloader being active. The easiest way to
do this is to run your application with the RunWithEngineClassLoader
class:
http://rifers.org/docs/api/com/uwyn/rife/test/
RunWithEngineClassLoader.html
When it's run inside a servlet container, this is done automatically.
- Anybody built an ORM abstraction that wraps the Rife layer, that
could also
potentially wrap Hibernate?
There is a database abstraction layer that is built inside RIFE. It
does mainly type conversions and SQL generation. Also, when a
DbQueryManager is used, you can use it with a DbQueryManagerFactory
that is able to load a dedicated query manager for a specific
database (which then typically extends a base query manager) with DB-
specific differences or exceptions.
The main issue here is that the DBs are detected based on the JDBC
driver name. This is not really applicable to Hibernate. Also, a lot
of RAW interactions are possible (like streaming data straight out
from the database to the web engine), I have no idea until where
these are supported by Hibernate. I have however never used Hibernate
so I can't really assess these things correctly. I think it might be
possible, but I don't know how difficult it would be.
A while ago I was planning on looking into this, but then I realized
something. There's nothing at all that prevents you from using both.
If you want to use the RIFE database functionalities for certain
things, just do so, you can still use Hibernate for anything else you
want it to do.
- Anybody have any example tests that inject a datasource, etc.?
Can you give more information here? Inject a test into an element
during testing?
Any answers to the above, or any general advice, would be much
appreciated.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Geert
