Alexander Zynevich commented on HHH-1409:
-----------------------------------------

Just my 0.02=C2=A3:
It would be good if this client side jar contained no only collection\excep=
tion but also evrything required to "support" proxy on client side (i.e. se=
rialization of proxy, ability to call getId() on proxy without opening sess=
ion). I know about hibernate-client.jar @jBoss, but it is better to have it=
 in hibernate project.

> We are using Hibernate in a typical client/server environment. Up to now =
we need to have the hibernate.jar file on the classpath of both JVMs becaus=
e on the client side, Hibernate Exception classes as well as Collection cla=
sses needs to be found at runtime. Well, it would be possible to take care,=
 that all exceptions are converted into application exceptions (no hibernat=
e exceptions set as cause) and all collections are copied into collections =
of type java.util.Collection. Obviously this will remove the need of a hibe=
rnate.jar file on the client side, but the advantages of e.g. persistent co=
llections are lost.=20
> To keep the size of the client side distribution small, it would be nice =
to have only classes on the client side classpath which are really needed (=
I'm not sure if exception and collection classes are enough). For that reas=
on I would suggest to split the hibernate3.jar of the distribution into two=
 parts. A hibernate-common.jar which contains classes needed on the client =
and the server side of the application, and a hibernate-server.jar which on=
ly contains classes needed on the server side of the application.
