Thanks for the link. In fact, I already read almost all the Cayenne documentation http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/understanding-transactions.html (which I think more recent) >I use Cayenne in a fairly straight forward manner, and perform >transactions explicitly in code rather than using an AOP approach. I understand that Cayenne works but do you mean that it does not integrate with Spring ? If so, why the Cayenne documentation states the opposite ? Do you also mean that Cayenne Transactions don't work with J2EE servers ? >With regard to Spring integration, Cayenne does not actually need OK. That's true. However, what if we would like to take benefits from the two frameworks. I think that if it comes to choose between Spring and Cayenne, Spring will probably win because it's really an integration framework and it's widely used in production. >Spring to fill in the gaps like HIbernate does. Sorry, that is not true. We can also use Hibernate without Spring. We can even use it with plain JSP and servlets. Cayenne framework is definitely a good framework but I think if it's a little bit invasive : * persistent entities have to inherit from a cayenne object * transactions are made manually and doe not use the standard ones (javax.transaction) Actually, I'm trying to play with Cayenne in order to develop a Spring CayenneTransactionManager That will allows the use of AOP and thus to separate the persistent layer from the business one and especially to hide the persistence details. Thanks
