ok i'm getting very frustrated here, this is starting to piss me off. i've read a lot of stuff but no matter what i try i can't get it right. either the session is closed, i get non-unique object exceptions because the session stays open forever, or if i get past that cascades don't work right for some reason.

so if you are using hibernate in tomcat (with struts or something similar) and not getting any exceptions AND your cascades actually cascade, can you do me a HUGE HUGE favor and please post your

relevant section of web.xml

the filter class you're using (if any)

and the HibernateUtil class.

i've tried about 10 different variations and nothing works! help me please or i'm gonna have to suck it up and use jdbc so i can get something done until i figure this out.

thanks!!!

I don't know how much help this will be, but I am currently using Hibernate in Tomcat 5.5. I am also using Spring, so the configuration will look different.
