[Springframework-developer] Hibernate Batch Support

[David D. <fbs...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have been using Spring for 8 months now, and it is
fantastic. Thank you to everyone who conceived,
designed and built this very cool software.

I would like to take advantage of the Hibernate 3
batch insert/update/delete support. I would like to do
it using the HibernateTemplate. The bulkUpdate and
saveOrUpdateAll methods appear to have the semantic
that implies support for Hibernate 3 batching. The
javadoc didn't explicitly say they do, so I read
through the source and it doesn't appear to implement
any variant of the 'session flush when iteration count
% hibernate.jdbc.batch_size == 0' algorithm outlined
in Hibernate's documentation. (See
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/batch.html#batch-inserts)

Has this been implemented using an aspect that manages
the flushing or in some other place that I am not
aware of? I couldn't find any discussion of this on
the dev mail archive. If there is no solution that has
already been provided, then I am happy to submit the
batchUpdate; batchSaveOrUpdate ... implementations. I
should mention that I am using Spring 1.2.6 and read
through the 2.0-M2 source and javadoc to see if it was
addressed in that release.

Thanks for your consideration.
