Hie guys, Iam developing a java web application which uses mysql as its database engine. Now I would like to use the hibernate and spring frameworks together. The problem I nam facing is in configuring the various beans and establishing a clear relationship btwn the two frame works. If any one has ever done a project with the two frameworks integrated pliz help me. All I need is a small working example that will definitel take me thru.
Help guys Iam stuck.
Thanks.

you should go to the springframework.org forum you'd get more help there you can also check the spring reference book its very lucid

check your struts-config.xml file and hibernate-cfg.xml file for correct enteries. If you have some other problem, please be more descriptive.

he is using springframework and not struts; you don't get any struts-config.xml file. What you get is a spring bean definition file. for more information on spring development visit http://www.springsource.org/documentation.

don't know if you would understand but I'll give it to you anyway. in the next post you will find two classes User and Address their hibernate config files and their spring bean difinition.

This is the address class with its hibernate config
public class User {
private Long id;

</hibernate-mapping>To configure Hibernate with spring you have to create a DAO object to retrieve User and address from the database. below is the Hibernate DAO code for the above classes
public class HibernateUserDAO extends HibernateDaoSupport implements UserDAO {
public void createUser(User user) throws DAOException {
if(user == null){
throw new NullUserException();
}
if(user.isNullUser()){
throw new NullUserException();
}
checkForDuplicateInfo(user); // check for exiting username and email address
getHibernateTemplate().saveOrUpdate(user);
}
public User getUser(String username, String password) {
List result = getHibernateTemplate().find("from User where username = ? and password = ?",
new Object[]{username, password});
return result.size() > 0 ? (User) result.get(0) : null;
}
public List<User> getUsers() {
return getHibernateTemplate().find("from Users");
}
public void removeUser(User user) throws DAOException {
getHibernateTemplate().delete(user);
}
public void checkForDuplicateInfo(User user){
// check for existing username
List result = getHibernateTemplate().find("from User where username = ?",user.getUsername());
if(result.size() > 0){
throw new UsernameExistException();
}
// check for existing email address
result = getHibernateTemplate().find("from User where email = ?", user.getEmail());
if(result.size() > 0){
throw new EmailExistException();
}
}
public void checkForDuplicateUsername(String username){
// check for existing username
List result = getHibernateTemplate().find("from User where username = ?",username);
if(result.size() > 0){
throw new UsernameExistException();
}
}
public void checkForDuplicateEmail(String email){
List result = getHibernateTemplate().find("from User where email = ?", email);
if(result.size() > 0){
throw new EmailExistException();
}
}
