RE: Hibernate with HiveMind -- examples, tutorials, etc.?

Thanks Jean-Francois for your quick response.  

Yes I saw HiveTranse but it looks to be meager compared to what you get from Spring -- no offense intended, I'm just spoiled by the feature set and first class documentation of the Spring Framework plus the many articles, blog posts, etc. available from third parties about how to use Spring/Hibernate.  The HiveTranse project pages I've seen have no similar documentation available other than the brief quick start page so my assumption was that it is not as feature rich or robust as the ORM support provided by Spring.  I thought that there was maybe something else available from HiveMind itself but it appears that unlike Spring HiveMind is more focused on IoC and is not a full featured application framework per se and hence lacks built in support for ORM tools.  I'm working on a project which uses HiveMind and now that we have to add persistence with Hibernate I was hoping to get the same sort of support for Hibernate that I came to expect from Spring.  I really like the IoC/wiring approach offered by HiveMind, but I've always used Hibernate in conjunction with Spring and it looks like with HiveMind I will have to either use vanilla Hibernate (maybe that's not as bad as I'm thinking and I should learn to live without the Spring crutches) or go with HiveMind ORM utilities like HiveTranse which appear to be much less mature than what I'm used to with Spring.

I will give HiveTranse a whirl and see how it goes, maybe it'll be fine for my needs.

Hello James,

Although the HiveMind project by itself does not provide tools/libraries for
ORM support (as compared with Spring), there are a few open source projects
down there that aim to fill in this gap.

One of them is HiveMind Utilities (http://hivetranse.sourceforge.net).
There are at least 2 others, the one from James, and one from Marcus Schulte
which is not "purely" HiveMind, but more Tapestry-oriented (but that's still
HiveMind). There may be others, a quick google search should help you find
these.

Cheers

Jean-Francois

Subject: Hibernate with HiveMind -- examples, tutorials, etc.?


I have found no documentation which shows how to use Hibernate with
HiveMind.
Have I missed a tutorial or getting started page somewhere which will help
me get started?  Am I correct in my conclusion that HiveMind support for ORM
tools (such as Hibernate) is magnitudes less than what is available from
Spring?

Can someone point me to the excellent example by James Carman referenced
http://www.nabble.com/Hivemind-creates-proxy-Hibernate-Session-t3528361.html
here ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
