Hellu,

I am (still) integrating jotm/hibernate under tomcat.
I am strugling with the following two questions, please some advice ?:

- I like to use my application standalone for testing purposes, so I don't want to register my data source under tomcat. I don't see any problems why not... so is there any ?? why shouldn't I do this ?

- I know how to configure hibernate for the correct datasource en with the JOTM JTA... but what is a "good" configuration.. Should I use the pooling of jotm, and if yes, how ? or just the pooling of hibernate ??

Please some feedback,
Ed

I don't know the answers, but I also don't know why anyone would add a TM to Tomcat if there is JBoss, with a TransactionManager already integrated and using Tomcat just fine. Why don't you simply use the JBoss modules you require and run JBoss? You can turn off everything individually.

True, it certainly is a possibility to use Jboss/tomcat... as I do now.. and turn everything off that I don't use... however... I am kicking out Jboss as I don't need it and it only gives me unnessary "things".
Ofcourse I can turn thing off, something I have considered, but still... and that case I can just use Tomcat with a JTA, and there it is, a platform I am more in control...

Reading your last postings, I'm not sure about the "more in control" part :)

Tx for the response.

Buttt, still I am kicking it out.. and the control issue is just a matter of personal favor/experience and situation.

Question: Don't I have a problem if you don't register the session factory in the jndi name but just use it as a singleton (just as appears in the faq).... I mean: the doc says that I should have one session factory per data source for all threads.
But how can I garantee that ?? I mean, if I would use more classloaders, than I could create more than one session factory... or not ??!...

Please some advice as am not too familair with this ?
