is someone can show me how to use hibernate with portlet

I'm currently using Hibernate inside a series of WebSphere portlets (8 in total).

What would you like to know?

I am using the three together succesfully with Vignette Portal. What would you like to know?

Thanks,

Hi! I know this post is maybe outdated but i have this question and I hope someone could help me out... I want to know how can I share the same hibernate session between portlets... I'm developing several portlets but all of them will access the same database, the only difference between them is that each one will handle different entities, but I need them to share the same hibernate session factory instead of each one creating a different one.... can somebody help me with this?

by the way i'm using Liferay

thanks

You'll need to front the Hibernate Session through either a Stateless Session Bean or a Web Service.

Separate portlets can run on separate JVMs remember. That really makes sharing a Hibernate Session in the purest sense impossible.

Thanks Cameron! I'll give that a try!

Cameron, that means that the best way to use hibernate in several portlets is letting them to create their own session factory to access the database (using different cfg files with almost the same configuration)?

The alternative is to use another component like a SLSB or Web Service to front the Session.

Even when an app gets clustered on multiple JVMs, you get multiple Sessions. That's just the way it scales.
