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).
I chose a similar approach by combining spring and hivemind. Spring is stronger than hivemind for handling transaction... Not that hivemind couln't do it but: - Spring has a very good documentation, you can easily understand how the different transactions models work - Spring has a rich transaction API which allows you to implement in a flexible way transactions either manually or transparently (each has several schemes), also it has enough wrappers to use any kind of transaction manager - Spring is well integrated with Hibernate and provides a nice API around it to configure, handle the sessions and cordinate transactions The only "manual" integration I had to do is implement the OpenSessionInView pattern in hivemind, this is not really necessary but just allows to tweak more finely the hibernate session opening and closing. Thanks, Henri.
