I've got a application which provides access via java Apis. I wan't to map theses api to sorte of tables so I can use Hibernate. Is that possible ?


details :

I've got one database i can access whith jdbc, so with hibernate too, and elsewhere another database with a front end which I can access only by java apis ( no sql).

For any business transaction, I must write or read to both databases and synchronize the commits. I would like to map my first app to sort of tables, so that when I insert, delete or do whatever in these tables, hibernate calls the java apis underneath.

Does hibernate allows to do that ? If no, what other tools can I use ?


Thanks a lot

Not possible with Hibernate, at least not without lots of custom developement. What else you can use, difficult to say without more details.

Well,

last chance : let's imagine you have a table, and a special field in it which should be processed a special way. Can I put a sort of pre or post trigger a the hibernate level, not in the database level ?

You could use a custom UserType most likely to do special handling of a certain property.

Last chance for what?

Yes. In 2.1.x use an Interceptor or UserType

Thanks to all.
I will follow your advices.
