Swing + hibernate is it possible?

Hi,

Is it possible to have swing + hibernate combination? I am trying to develop one small standalone application, in which my client tier will be in swing and middle tier will be hibernate and model tier is oracle database.

If it is possbile from where can I get the document about that?

Please do the needful.

Thanks

I developed a swing application that uses hibernate with SQL Server and HSQLDB. Just refernce the Hibernate Reference Documentation in PDF format that is in the docs section of the Hibernate download.

Sorry about the multiple posts.
The forum wasn't responding and is acting really slow.
I didn't mean to spam or anything and I couldn't delete the duplicate messages.

Be careful. All of the people responding here are talking about a 2-tier system where the Swing app hosts the hibernate API and calls directly to the database. But, your questions hinted that you have a 3-tier architecture where the middle tier is some J2EE architecture with hibernate instead of there.

In the 3-tier swing app you won't have any advantage of lazy loading, and you'll have to manage getting all of the hibernate objects from the middle tier to the client tier through serialization. It's not easy when you have 3 tiers, and alot of what hibernate does for you in terms of loading optimzations won't help you much. A 2-tier system would be much easier. Writing some sort of layer that adds the lazy loading back into your swing app is not easy because of swing's threading model.
