Bridge the gap between Struts and Hibernate
Added 31 Jul 2008
Hibernate and Struts are currently among the most
popular open source libraries on the market. Effectively, they are the
default developer selections among competing libraries when building
Java enterprise applications. Although they are often used in
conjunction with one another, Hibernate was not primarily designed to
be used with Struts, and Struts was released years before the birth of
Hibernate. To put them to work together, some challenges remain. This
article identifies some of the gaps between Struts and Hibernate,
particularly related to object-oriented modeling. It also describes a
solution for bridging these gaps that involves an extension to the
Struts framework. All Web applications built upon Struts and Hibernate
can derive benefit from this generic extension.
