    Is this project still being actively worked on, or has this stopped in favor of RequestFactory?

    Hello,

    I changed the project status to inactive : I did not update the source code since 1 year now, and as far as I know, Gilead does not support Hibernate 3.6 (some users post a workaround in the forum to make it work). Nervertheless, I think it is stable enough for classic usage (no weird mapping for example), and still used in some GWT and BlazeDS projects.

    About RequestFactory… hmmm. It is the *official* GWT way to handle persistent entity, but it looks to me too far from simplicity : you have to define your entities, the associated proxy, and so on… A lot of boilerplate where Gilead focused on simplicity and tried to be seamless.
    Nevertheless, I have no feedback on RequestFactory, so I cannot argue about its Hibernate integration…

    Regards
    Bruno
