| Tapestry/Hibernate Integration Library |
| |
| This library integrates into Tapestry 5 to provide out-of-the-box support for using Hibernate 3 as the backend for |
| normal CRUD style applications. |
| |
| For at least, the first pass, this will represent access to the native Hibernate interfaces, exposed in a |
| thread-safe manner, within a <session-per-request> strategy. |
| |
| A number of more esoteric ideas in Hibernate are not supported, including nested transactions and supporting multiple |
| persistence units. |
| |
| Licensing Issues |
| |
| Hibernate is licensed under the Lesser GNU Public License. This is more restrictive license than the Apache Software |
| License used by the rest of Tapestry. The restrictions mostly apply to redistricuting Hibernate, especially in |
| any altered form, and will likely be irrelvant to the vast majority of users, but you should be aware. |
| |
| This library is compiled against version <<3.2.2.ga>> of Hibernate, but does not establish that as a dependency (it |
| uses the "provided" scope); |
| you will have to manually setup a dependency against your preferred version of Hibernate in your project's Maven POM. |
| Once the library has stabilized, a Maven archetype (project template) will be created to help with this step. |
| |
| What's New? |
| |
| * Transactions are now <aborted> (no longer <committed>) at the end of each request: you must now |
| explicitly commit the transaction if changes are to be saved. |
| |
| * The new @CommitAfter annotation for component and service methods can now commit the transaction |
| automatically after the method is invoked. |
