It's not very process intensive if you are using a connection pool where it just hands you an already-open connection. Hibernate can use a few different connection pools including JCS, C3P0, OSCache, etc.

I had a question for anyone that has done this (without using SpringFramework). My gut-reaction to this was to add a HttpSessionListener to my webapp that created and stored a Hibernate session in the user's session, and then close it when the Session expired... will this not work? Anyone else have a good solution for this?
