Hi,
I am in the process of building a shopping cart which will enable users to add, delete and amend shopping items. I have been looking cookie based solutions or whether to write straight to a table. Obviously the solution would need to cater for system outage, i.e. a users computer/connection fails or the server goes down. I just wanted to know wether hibernate had a clever way of dealing with this kind of issue and generally what your thought were on this issue?

What is the part of Hibernate in this problem?

as Hibernate is my persistance layer, I just wanted to know how other hibernate users had come to tackle this issue, and not that hibernate was a problem at all... Any ideas?

Peter

I guess most implement a shopping cart and persist it with Hibernate. You usually have a transient shopping cart stored in the users HttpSession and make it persistent (or merge it with an already persistent) shopping cart when the user logs in. It's really trivial :)

all I needed to know..cheers ;-)
