[Springframework-developer] Threadsafe HibernateTemplate vs. non-threadsafe JdbcTemplate

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

I've seen somebody get burned by the fact that HibernateTemplate is 
threadsafe, while JdbcTemplate is not. We probably need to document this 
difference a bit better, and the probable usage scenario that results 
(i.e. it's generally ok to produce one singleton HibernateTemplate in 
your context and use it everywhere, whereas you probably want to create 
jdbcTemplates on demand; not even setting it non-singleton in the 
context is enough, since if it is fed as a dependency to another object 
which is singleton, and that object is assumed to be thread safe, there 
will be problems).

Will add some stuff to the javadocs tonight...
