Hibernate version:
3.2

Hi List,

We are using JPA in servlets, ant it works just fine. During development, you change your code, compile and reload the application. Reload of the application forces Hibernate to bind, map and process annotations, which takes about 8 secs.

We would like to speed up this process. Any ideas on how to do this?

Often you are just working on one servlet, and just a part of the datamodel. It would be nize, if I could configure Hibernate to lazely bind, map and proccess annotations.

...or maybe i could somehow decouble servlet code and hibernate, so that when I change the servlet code, I dont have to reload the Hibernate part.

Any Ideas?

Regards,
René

your last proposal worth a try, aside from that, splitting your model definition is smaller independent persistence units will help
