I'm trying to create a simple standalone Java app that uses Hibernate.

There is an FAQ that says to use a Datastore and the Hibernate.properties file. Fine.

What package is the Datastore class located in?

I can only find reference to cirrus.hibernate.Datastore which I believe was version 1.0 of Hibernate?

BTW, is there an example of what I'm trying to do online anywhere?

Thanks,

Look at the eg/ subdirectory, it's trivial.

OK, I've created this java command line utility that parses some information from an incoming email and inserts it into a database via hibernate. This program launches each time an email is received from a specific sender.

Thing is, with the JVM startup and all the Hibernate mapping/config, it's really slow.

I suppose I could post the data to a servlet or start some kind of "service" but that seems like a long way around.

Is there a better way that I'm not thinking of?

Perl is designed for this use case, fast startup, DBI, native RE support for text processing.

I think you are probably right but I don't know Perl for beans.

I am not sure, but I think apache James can help http://james.apache.org/ as I understand Mailet life cycle is analogy for HttpServlet.

Wow. That's pretty cool. I didn't even know that existed.

I would probably try it but I've already got sendmail configured and working well, so I'm gonna leave it be.

BTW, for this little script I ended up removing Hibernate and just using a prepared statement. Performance is now acceptable using Java.

I guess you have to use the right tool for the job but I wanted to get my feet wet with Hibernate anyway.

It kinda makes me think about having some kind of standalone Hibernate server, however. Does this make any sense?
