Hi Spring and Hibernate combo fans,
I'm pleased to announce that the upcoming Spring release 1.0 M2 includes a reworked version of the Petclinic sample app, now featuring alternative DAO implementations and application context configurations for JDBC and Hibernate. The power of the DAO pattern applied :-)
Therefore, Petclinic is now a working sample app that illustrates the use of Hibernate in a Spring web app. The new Petclinic also leverages Spring's declarative transaction management. Both the JDBC and the Hibernate implementation run on HSQL (included in the distribution) and MySQL.
Spring Framework 1.0 M2 will be released by the end of this week -- you're invited to check it out!
