Well, Andreas, I hate to say it, but I am the man of your dreams! :-) I have already integrated the Spring transaction/ORM support into HiveMind. HiveTranse basically took a "grow your own" strategy, because the author wasn't familiar with Spring (at least that's what I remember being one of the reasons Jean-Francois gave). Don't get me wrong, he's done a great job. But, maybe I'm just lazier than he is, because I decided to just adapt the Spring stuff which I already know works into HiveMind. The code for this stuff will be moving over to the Honeycomb project very soon (I need to change my package names and check the stuff into SVN). We are going to try to make Honeycomb the one-stop-shopping place for HiveMind modules. So, it will have many inter-connected subprojects (or modules). So, you'll have a choice. You can use HiveTranse or you can use the Honeycomb modules (once they're available).

Spring may provide all of the things on my list of wishes already... I don't know as I only tried to use it for several days and changed to Hivemind as it's the tool Tapestry is build upon/uses and I don't need most of Spring's stuff (at least not at the moment). That's why I wrote that I dream of having something similar for _Hivemind_: Because Tapestry is based on Hivemind and I don't want to be forced to use Spring if I don't need all the other stuff. To come back to my original statement: Perhaps we could adapt the code from Spring which handles sessions/transactions/persistent objects and include it into Hivemind? I don't know the internals of Hivetranse - perhaps this is already a project which takes this way? Perhaps if we can agree on HiveTranse as a possible basis for further development (actually I have to say that I have _nearly_ no problems concerning sessions/transactions using HiveTranse) There was another thread on this list some days ago - what should be changed/included into HiveTranse, the OpenSessionInView pattern for example, a data squeezer, what else? But by all means I didn't want to start another Hivemind vs. Spring flamewar so please keep calm ;) Cheers, Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
