Re: [Springframework-developer] Re: Hibernate3 entity names, direct Session access

[Juergen H. <ju...@in...>]

OK, I've added all overloaded methods for entity names to HibernateTemplate.
I agree that it makes sense for the long term. I've also added them to the
HibernateOperations interface, as there is no way to achieve the same call
through the already existing interface methods.

As a counterbalance, I've removed all methods that take Hibernate Type
arguments from HibernateOperations and HibernateTemplate (only for the
hibernate3 package). In my experience and from what I've seen in customer
code, those are hardly ever used, or at least hardly ever necessary:
Hibernate is usually able to guess the type correctly.

We mainly had those methods with Type arguments in HibernateTemplate because
the Hibernate 2.1 Session interface had them too. In Hibernate 3.0, those
have been removed (that is, moved to the deprecated
org.hibernate.classic.Session interface). I consider this a good occasion to
not offer those methods in our hibernate3 package in the first place.

If you need to set a specific Hibernate Type for a parameter, simply use a
HibernateCallback and work with the Hibernate Query API. This is much nicer
than those endless array arguments for one-line find methods. After all,
one-line convenience methods are just nice for a limited number of
arguments.

I agree with Artur.
