hi all
im a bit perplexed ...
about the deployment in jboss 4 rc2 ++ /hibernate 2.1.6
after reading the jboss wikis and hibernate/66.html (concerning the 3.2.x versions)

first question is weather the issues in the docs concerning the
configuration of the container and mbean apply for jboss4. as well?

after all the libraries were placed in rc2,

all i have to do is to hotdeploy a .HAR :

---->metainf
---------->hibernate-service.xml

---->project
--------->files
------------>class1.hbm.xml
------------>class1.class


and then just :

Session session =
org.......SessionContext.getSession("java:/hibernate/SessionFactory")

thats it ??

Not sure what you mean by this. You must configure the MBean (in hibernate-service.xml) and either a filter (for webapps) or ejb-interceptor (for ejbs), if thats what you are asking.


As for the packaging, a HAR is just an archive. In terms of classloading of your classes think of it just like a JAR. So as long as your class1.class defines a class which is part of the "project.files" package, then that would be the correct setup.


Sure as long as "java:/hibernate/SessionFactory" is the namespace to which you asked the MBean to bind its session factory.

first - thank u for your quick answer -
i kinda got it together....

just making sure now, i deployed the .har
with the hibernate-service.xml
the hbm.xml's and the classes.

and i got the mbean -

added the :


to the standartjboss

and used initialContext like :


and....it worked!! my question is if im doing it right ?
and if i want to deploy another app - can i just add the mappings to the har
and redeploy it ? or its better to deploy a new one with another hiber-svc.xml ?

thankx

Up to you. Might make sense if they share a lot of the same classes.

Note that you can also embed the har within an ear as a nested deployment.
