Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use jboss for session and transaction handling instead of the default hibernate session factory. Are there any references you could point me towards? I'm also using a mysql database.

I just wanted to clarify the only change i will need to make to use another database, (i.e. mysql instead of HQL) is the database connection details. The HQL queries can be used to access the data in mysql.

Look forward to your response

Using JTA as provided by JBoss is a good approach. This is very standard and there is lots of information around to show you what to do. As far as session management, it will be done by Hibernate.

Hibernate does isolate you from the underlying database so only minimal changes are necessary to apply alternate database back ends.

I suggest you use the 'user' forum for more questions and also read the online docs or purchase a book as both will help guide you.
