It's really very simple. I'm doing the same thing here. You simple use the HibernateUtil example that is in the Hibernate documentation. Then you simple create a custom RequestCycle by overriding this method in your application. With the request cycle you can open and close Hibernate seesion. Then with a custom RequestCycle you can get it from anywhere, it uses thread local, and us it to access your database. Here's some example code:
##############################################################################################
   @Override
public RequestCycle newRequestCycle(Request request, Response response) {
       return new RequestCycleImpl(this, request, response);
   }
##############################################################################################
public class RequestCycleImpl extends WebRequestCycle {

   private Session hibernateSession;

public RequestCycleImpl(Application application, Request request, Response response) {
       super(application, (WebRequest) request, response);
   }

   @Override
   protected void onBeginRequest() {
this.hibernateSession = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
   }

   @Override
   protected void onEndRequest() {
       if (this.hibernateSession != null) {
           this.hibernateSession.close();
       }
   }

   public Session getHibernateSession() {
       return hibernateSession;
   }
}
##############################################################################################
public class AllDivisionModel extends LoadableDetachableModel {

   protected Object load() {
Session session = ((RequestCycleImpl) RequestCycle.get()).getHibernateSession();
       Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
       try {
           @SuppressWarnings(value = "unchecked")
List<Division> results = (List<Division>) session.createCriteria(Division.class)
                   .addOrder(Order.asc("name"))
                   .list();
           tx.commit();
           return results;
       } catch (Exception e) {
           Logger.getLogger(getClass()).error(e);
           tx.rollback();
       }
       return new ArrayList();
   }
}
##############################################################################################
       private boolean isLoggedIn(String username, String password) {
Session session = ((RequestCycleImpl) getRequestCycle()).getHibernateSession();
           Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
           try {
SysUser user = (SysUser) session.createCriteria(SysUser.class)
                   .add(Restrictions.eq("username", username))
                   .add(Restrictions.eq("password", password))
                   .uniqueResult();
               if (!user.isLockout()) {
                   return true;
               }
               tx.commit();
           } catch (Exception e) {
               Logger.getLogger(getClass()).error(e);
               tx.rollback();
           }
           return false;
       }
##############################################################################################

All that said, I'm pretty new my self, so I'm sure it can be improved. This seems to work so far for me.

I suspect I'm biting off more than I can chew conveniently but maybe someone can push me in the right direction...

I'm attempting to build a fairly simple web application with Wicket, and I'd like to use Hibernate to manage the database access (although other frameworks like Cayenne have been suggested and I'll look at them too...)

I think I've figured out the basic application structure, and how to map my data to an html page. But I don't think I understand the relationships between web sessions, hibernate sessions, DAO objects etc. I need to open a mysql db, read a set of objects from a table, and display them in a (paged) table on the screen. I've looked at several examples but they are using in-memory databases, or Spring along with Hibernate and I can't get a handle on what needs to be done to whom and by whom....

Anyone have a really simple MySQL example like that? Or an online tutorial that I could follow?

Much obliged,

nbc
