Hi,

We would likje to migrate our App Server from JRun to Tomcat 5
In our webapps code, we have quanties of :

Quote:

SessionFactory sf = (SessionFactory) new InitialContext().lookup("hbm/myFactory");
sqlSession = sf.openSession();

The problem, as described in http://www.hibernate.org/114.html
is that Tomcat JNDI context is not writable at WebApp startup.

The mentioned describes some ways to Use Static SessionFactories, but nothing seems to be really clear!

The way I prefer is the use of the ThreadLocal, but I should change every opening of session code.

Did you succeed in configuring tomcat for Hibernate in a smarter way ?

Thanks
Franck

First, use a current Hibernate version. Next, read the Quickstart chapter of the documentation or follow our Getting Started guidelines here: http://www.hibernate.org/152.html Don't jump in right in the middle and then work backwards.

Ok,
What you tell me is to migrate Hibernate ...
But this kind of migration isn't planed for the moment
(It needs a review of all the code)

Thanks
