Hi All

I am busy developing an application that will be used to interact with a mobile phone. I need to keep track of the state of each interaction with the phone, determining what the response to the mobile phone will be depending on the state of the interaction.

I am thinking of using MDB and Hibernate. I would also be using JBoss clustering running on 2 seperate machines.

What I would like to know, and would appreciate any help with is as follows:


The issue I am having with using MDB is with the session life cycle and wanting to use hibernate caching. How do I do it, and how does the clustering effect my solution? Also I would need to access the cache across the MDB container.

I can see from http://www.hibernate.org/168.html that I could either detached objects or disconnect the JDBC connection and then reconnect when needed. If I use option 2, when I reconnect would I be using connection pooling, as specfied by jboss.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
