Hi Johannes,
thanks for your reply.

Hi Andre,
even though it _is_ possible to persist objects from within layers that
don't know anything about cocoon by propagating the connection pool in
an InheritableThreadLocal, there is basically no reason why you
shouldn't use an external C3P0 pool, and move all persistence related
logic out of cocoon's sight (it is even cleaner design I think).
You could then modify the OpenSessionInViewFilter to open a hibernate
session directly upon instantiation and would not need the additional
avalon component used in wiki.
Well, I need to do some reading now to understand a few things ...
On the other hand, as you already pointed out, disconnecting the
persistence logic from cocoon is a lot cleaner and definitely a better
design and also makes it easier to test outside cocoon. I think I will
go for that solution.
Feel free to contribute your findings to wiki btw :)
I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks,
Andre

Hi all,
I am looking into the option to rely on an alternative pooling system
for hibernate that the one provided by cocoon. I have employed (with
success) the implementation as outlined in
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonAndHibernateTutorial
However, this implementation results in a tight dependence upon
cocoon, such that it appears to be a lot more difficult (if not
impossible) in cocoon based web applications to persists objects from
within layers that don't know anything about cocoon. At least, I
cannot entirely see right know how exactly that would work as of yet.
Would there be any reason to assume that it is -not- a good idea to
use two different pooling systems next to each other (cocoon and e.g.
C3P0). Using a pooling mechanism other than that of cocoon seems to
make it a lot easier to get to a org.hibernate.Session instance (e.g.
with HibernateUtil, as documented on the Hibernate website, which
effectively employs the getCurrentSession() provided by
org.hibernate.SessionFactory) virtually anywhere where access to the
persistence layer is required.
Are there be issues related to the servlet filter for disposing
Hibernate sessions (see the wiki). For the time being, I just want to
use cocoon and hibernate and not an additional framework like swing or
whatsoever.
Thanks,
Andre
