[Hibernate] Hibernate Thread Local Session and JUnit

[Matt R. <ma...@ra...>]

I am using the Thread Local Session Design Pattern as documented at:

http://hibernate.bluemars.net/42.html

This worked great in my web application when running through Tomcat.  Tomcat
uses Commons DBCP for connection pooling.

The old way I was doing it - now obviously kludgy - was to create a new
session factory everytime I initialized a DAO.  This worked great for unit
tests though, and it'd read from my hibernate.properties file for db
connection stuff.

Any tips/suggestions on enhancing HibernateSession.java to allow for both
types of configuration?

Thanks,

Matt
