[Hibernate-devel] version 0.9.9 released (please read)

[Gavin_King/Cirrus%<CI...@ci...>]

Finally!!

Two things to note with this release:

1. I ended up changing the column name of the default HiLoGenerator after
all (MySQL doesn't like "" in SQL statements.) Sorry to people impacted by
this :(

2. I am experimenting with c3p0 connection pooling
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/c3p0). This looks like a promising project
though there are still some issues with the current version. I would very
much appreciate if people could try it out and see how it functions in
their deployed environments compared to the rudimentary connection pooling
done by hibernate. (None of this is relevant to people using application
server datasources, so please ignore it if you are.)

To use c3p0, you need to set the usual properties you would need for
DriverManager, along with:

hibernate.c3p0.max_size
hibernate.c3p0.min_size
hibernate.c3p0.timeout
hibernate.c3p0.max_statements

Also, if anyone knows of any other good open source connection pool
implementations, we can try to build in support for those other
alternatives. (cirrus.hibernate.impl.ConnectionProvider abstracts the
notion of a connection pool ... I might eventually move this interface
and its implementors to a seperate package.)

Enjoy!

(and give feedback, please!)
