I'm using hibernate in a webApplication developed on Tomcat 6.0.16.

I've read that in these cases it's better to leave Session management as a Tomcat task.
Anyway I read in this post http://www.hibernate.org/114.html:

Using Hibernate with Tomcat

If you use Hibernate on Tomcat you don't have to use Tomcat's JNDI-bound JDBC connections. You can let Hibernate manage the JDBC connection pool. This works on all versions of Tomcat and is very easy to configure.

I can't understand it's the better approach...any suggestion?

thanks in advance

Hi, I use MVC for web projects so everything related to the database, hibernate for instance, will be in the Model layer so if you manage everything from there you won`t have problems with sessions.

I don´t know is you referred to that

so your suggestion it to manage Session directly in your application, without use facilities available in Tomcat ?

thanks
