Hibernate, Struts, Tomcat, MySQL in 15 min or less
Or your money back!
Ive been meaning to evaluate Hibernate for some time now. Actually, my goal is to evaluate and create sample apps using several persistence frameworks(JDO and Entity Bean 2 CMP as well). Anyway, back to Hibernate. Rather than trying countless combinations to get hibernate incorporated into a web app, I thought a hello world or example project would be a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything quite like that @ hibernate.org. Since JBoss is pro hibernate and Im a JBoss advocate, I thought a look there was in order. Like most things that have to do with JBoss, JBoss.org seemed to be the last place id find useful documentation. For some reason I can never find decent documentation from the Jboss folks. Anyone else feel that way? Maybe its just me, but thats another story. Anyway, I proceeded to google my query and stumbled upon a blog entry by Ed Hand. It was just what the doctor ordered. A clean and concise, step by step example of getting a single page working. A well documented hello world if you will. So here's to you, Mr Well Documented Hibernate WebApp Creator <spoken in the same tone as the Real Men of Genius Commercials>
