01/04/2005 03:32 PMA few readers have told me that WWdN is nominated for Best Big Name
Blog in the 2004 Best of
the Blogs awards, so I headed over there to see who else was
nominated, and to perhaps correct the assertion that I'm a Big Name
anything.
Holy crap, am I in some good company. Namely, Tony Pierce and
Dooce.
So look, here's the thing: If you're going to go there and vote,
you'd better vote for Tony. Right now he only has 13 votes, and that's
because I can only vote once a day. I'm serious. This isn't some sort
of false humility -- it's a fact. Tony Pierce writes one of the best
(and more often than not THE best) blogs on the Internets. Go read his
site if you doubt me. Tony is fearless, funny, and talented. And pick

Ready to Hibernate.
Ready to Hibernate.
03/11/2003 09:43 AM
Finally, I'm ready to start working on the Hibernate implementation of
the Roller Weblogger backend. I ended up doing a lot more refactoring
than I had intended. I told you about how I moved code from the Castor
implementation into abstract base classes that can be used by the
Hibernate implementation. Now I'll describe the changes that I made in
the Roller build and code-generation process.
In the original Roller build process, illustrated in Figure 4 of the
article
Building a J2EE Weblogger, I used abstract
javax.ejb.EntityBean classes as the meta-data basis for
generating code via the XDoclet
EJBDoclet task. I was subverting EJBDoclet: using it to generate Data
Objects, Struts Forms, and Castor mappings but not using any of it's
EJB output.
That worked pretty well, but eventually it became a problem. The
generated Data Objects were just dumb data-holders and, over time, we
realized that they need to be smarter "business objects." The Data
Objects were regenerated on every build and that made it diffucult, if
not impossible, to add new methods, new logic, and new collections.
The new Roller build/code-gen process
The new Roller build process, or at least the code-generation part of
it, is shown above. We now start with some hand written "Plain Old
Java objects" or POJOs. We still have to subvert EJBDoclet because the
XDoclet <strutsform> and
<castormapping> can only exist inside EJBDoclet.
I had to use Matt Raible's patched version of
<strutsform> (from his struts-resume
example) because the one in XDoclet 1.2b2 works only if the source
class extends javax.ejb.EntityBean and the new Roller
POJO's don't do that. Matt and I consider this to be a bug in EJBDoclet, but I'm not sure the XDoclet guys
agree. Maybe Roller should define it's own
<strutsform> that works on any POJO and that
inserts validator tags (something Matt also added in his struts-resume
example).
The Roller build/code-gen process is still not perfect, but it's "good
enough" for me to begin my Hibernate implementation of the Roller
Business Tier interfaces. I'll be blogging as I go so stay tuned.
Hibernate 1.2.2 released
Hibernate 1.2.2 released
01/06/2003 09:28 AMHibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational
persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop
persistent objects following common Java idiom, including association,
inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections
framework. To support a rapid build procedure, Hibernate rejects the
use of code generation or bytecode processing. Instead runtime
reflection is used and SQL generation occurs at system startup time.
Hibernate supports Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, SAP DB,
HypersonicSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Progress, Mckoi SQL, Pointbase
and Interbase.
Hibernate supports an ODMG 3 interface alongside a more expressive
custom API.
Of course, Hibernate integrates elegantly with J2EE application
servers and with other popular open source solutions like XDoclet.
Version 1.2.2 fixes a minor bug introduced in 1.2.1.

Hibernate 1.2 beta 1
Hibernate 1.2 beta 1
11/11/2002 09:22 PMHibernate is a powerful, high performance object/relational
persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop
persistent objects following common Java idiom, including association,
inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections
framework. To support a rapid build procedure, Hibernate rejects the
use of code generation or bytecode processing. Instead runtime
reflection is used and SQL generation occurs at system startup time.
Hibernate supports Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, SAP DB,
HypersonicSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Progress, Pointbase, Mckoi SQL
and Interbase. Version 1.2 beta 1 introduces a few important bug fixes
and one significant new piece of functionality.
New Features
==========
* Normalized (table-per-subclass) mapping strategy for databases with
ANSI-style OUTER JOIN and CASE
* Hibernate.initialize() forces initialization of given proxies or
lazy collections
Deprecations
==========
* findIdentifiers() is now deprecated
* hibernate-mapping-1.1.dtd is now preferred to hibernate-mapping.dtd
* previously deprecated insert() and create() methods were removed
from the Session interface
Major Bugfixes
===========
* Fixed JNDI functionality for JNDI servers that use serialization and
ignore Referenceable
* Fixed problems querying table-per-concrete-class or mixed strategy
inheritence hierarchies
* Fixed a bug where deletions where not cascaded to som one-to-one
associations
Q&A
====
* Why is this release a "beta"?
The beta designation refers to the fact that the new 1.2 functionality
is immature. It is not meant to imply that this release is of lower
quality that the previous 1.1.8 release. For 1.1.8 functionality, this
release is intended to be of *higher* quality, since a number of bugs
were fixed.
* Is 1.2 beta 1 a drop-in replacement for 1.1.8?
No. Specifically several deprecated methods were removed from the
Session interface.
* So should I upgrade to the new version?
Yes, most probably. But please take the time to test your system
against the new hibernate.jar.
* Will you be doing a 1.1.9 release that includes only bugfixes (ie. a
drop-in replacement for 1.1.8)?
Only if absolutely necessary. If enough people have a really good
reason for needing this, I will do it - but it will be an annoying
task and requires that I branch CVS which I would prefer to avoid.
* What further work is planned for the 1.2 stream?
- support for the normalized mapping strategy on Oracle
- An overdue refactoring of code that generates SQL strings, replacing
direct StringBuffer manipulation with a new SQL query model
- Make certain that the toolset is fully up to date with the new DTD
- Full "roundtripping" functionality in the toolset
Hibernate 1.1.8 released
Hibernate 1.1.8 released
10/30/2002 10:57 AMHibernate is a powerful, high performance object/relational
persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop
persistent objects following common Java idiom, including association,
inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections
framework. To support a rapid build procedure, Hibernate rejects the
use of code generation or bytecode processing. Instead runtime
reflection is used and SQL generation occurs at system startup time.
Hibernate supports Oracle, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sybase, SAP DB,
HypersonicSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Progress, Pointbase, Mckoi SQL
and Interbase.
Version 1.1.8 introduces major query language enhancements and
substantially reworks Hibernate's transparent lazy object
initialization.
