Hibernate version:3.1rc3

I am looking for some pointers on using Hibernate inside a Stateless Session Bean. I have written, deployed and tested some code with Hibernate 3.1.

I need to expose this through a Session Bean. Is it as easy as something like below...

public class MySessionBean ...
{

// Session call backs that need to be added from the
// implemented interfaces.

...

// My business method that will use the Hibernate code
public void submit(String fName, String lName)
{
Session s = HibernateUtil.getSession();

// Get a transaction object here

// Finally create and save the Person via Hibernate
Person p = new Person();
p.setFirstName(fName);
p.setLastName(lName);
s.save(p);
// rest of hibernate code...
}

}

Ofcourse there is other stuff, like throws clauses etc...

I just wanted to see if this would get me the needed Hibernate Session to save a person object via Hibernate.

Any caveats? Anything I am missing?

Thank You.

Wrong HibernateUtil, http://hibernate.org/42.html

Wrong HibernateUtil?

But right idea?


I wasn't trying to get caught up in the specifics of HibernateUtil just yet.

I was just wondering if this was the correct approach.

1) Get a hibernate session object.
2) Get a Transaction object.
3) Instantiate and set your Hibernate beans members.
4) session.save and tx.close

Sorry for anything misleading that I may have done before.

Good lord Christian! ( As in "Come on dude!" =) )

You are making me feel like I am back in college and you are my professor refusing to answer a yes/ no question. =)


Ok I get it. You are gonna tell me to go look it up. And let me figure it out for myself if I understand it. =)


BTW, I will take this chance, since I have your attention. If you are the Christian that is a co-author of Hibernate in Action. Many thanks to you and Gavin for writing such a great book. It's an easy read, concise and to the point. Almost like reading a short thriller novel. Ok, maybe not that exciting, but you get my point.

When if ever, can we expect an updated version for Hibernate 3.x?

Thanks for your time.

hehehe, thanks and have a nice weekend.
