Curious as to which concept Struts/Hibernate implementers like more for implementation:
#1- Ted Husted's example of Struts and Hibernate. Stick the Hibernate Session object into the httpServletRequest. Every action has a fresh Hibernate Session raring to go if it needs it. Then again it has it even if it doesn't but the Hibernate folks swear that this is basically no work for the application. As if the guts of the Session object don't really exist until it's first method call. #2- Hibernate's Struts plugin concept: Getting Hibernate Sessions explicitly in action methods, but stashing them in a ThreadLocal to not get any you don't need. If you try to get it again in the same thread, you get the one you already had. I guess the implies solution here is "Rely on the thread destroy() method to kill the Session when it aint needed no more #3- something else Since Hibernate also suggests an approach similar to #1 via a Servlet filter anyway, I opt to do it via a Request Processor subclass. I'm curious how other people go about it. Anyone ever encounter a reason they had to switch? -Joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
