Hi Friends,

I'm developing web applications in struts Framework for nearly 2 yrs. My TL asked me to go through Hibernate and learn it. I'm afraid my 2 yr Experience on struts gonna be waste. Whether Hibernate is related with struts frame work . Can any one suggest me what can i do.

well you should probably go throw the Struts + Spring IoC + Hibernate . Hibernate stays only for the database-level, Spring IoC - would provide you the possibility to integrate Struts with Hibernate.

I guess the most reliable example for that would be looking at the AppFuse Maven archetype :) have a look here http://appfuse.org/display/APF/AppFuse+QuickStart#AppFuseQuickStart-create

or simply in your console execute:


and digg into the code!

Your Struts knowledge won't be a waste, because all of the major frameworks out there today share much in common with Struts.

However, Struts is pretty heavily related to the front end. Hibernate is more focussed on the backend. I'd say learning Hibernate will compliment your Struts knowledge and make you a better programmer.

For some good tutorials to start with, check out my signature links.

Good luck!
