Comment on Hibernate’s bidirectional @OneToOne and lazy loading by Connie Singleton

Which ConnnectionProvider are you using? If its not DatasourceConnectionProvider, then it is probably doing connection pooling. This can cause problems in certain environments. Pooling may be disabled for DriverManagerConnectionProvider by setting hibernate.connection.pool_size=0 in hibernate.properties.

Could use some tips on how to convert this to an XML base. Tried just changing the @Produces to “application/xml” but then in my browser I get a “not well formed” error. This tells me that the mime type changed but the output was not actually XML.

What I want is to add enough info the the code example so that the user can do this easily.

Comment on Why I never use the Maven release plugin by Aaron

Just a couple of observations I find the release plugin works perfectly fine for individual components such as shared libraries and to some extend war files. What your talking about is the overall release and deployment process and I agree this can’t be solved by a single plugin.

The original intent of the release plugin as I understand it was around releasing a single artifact and not an entire application and like a lot of other things in maven if you try and color outside the lines your in for a world of pain

What I tend to find where the release plugin falls over is when you attempt to use it on a monolithic project where you have a single source repo with a whole bunch or jar/war modules that get packaged together maybe by an assembly. So the version of the jar modules is almost irrelevant as they get bundled into the war module to having them in a central maven repo isn’t required as they are only ever included in a war.

One other thing I’m a big advocate for using the same binary artifact that was built by my CI process in all environments. So when I make a Candiate Release and it finally passes QA I simply re-tag the CR release as the production release rather than cut another release. Because in reality these newly created artifacts aren’t the same as the one that got QA’ed and unless you go through the QA process again you can’t be 100% confident. So rather than using the CR convention I tend to use a build number and use this a communication tool between the different teams. E.g version 1.2.1-build-54 passed QA and is ready for production.

Just my 2cents

What I would like to do, if I have time, is come up with a maintained and educationally useful assortment of archetypes and examples of which the one up on Google Code would be the first. Since it is so simple, the example provided seems like an exelent basis for a demo of all the maven CXF goodies, for example.

Nope, you’re free to use it in any way you want. All code presented on this blog is free to use, I just don’t give any warranty or accept liability for any and all code found here.

Not all webservices return XML. RESTful services return resources, which may be XML documents, JSON documents or even PDF’s. It’s all based on the MIME type in the accept header. HTTP is a REST implementation.
In this case, the client can simply be a browser, which is one of the strengths of REST webservices.

P.S. if the author prefers to own the code mentioned, I would be more than willing to turn it over.

I am curious as to how this is an example of Web Services though, since there isn’t any XML at all, and no client.

For those having trouble, I have a working copy up on google code. Search for:
webservice-rest-get-cxf-spring-maven-tomcat6-example. Credit to the original author whom is not me. Note that when I say “working” I don’t mean that the cargo deployment plugin is working for me. It isn’t but the example is fine.

Soon, I’m going to create a working example for all to look at and put it up on Google Code. Might do this today, if I have time. I’ve already had this working once before.

Hi ,

could you please suggest how we can run this application on jboss? is there any extra configuration needed?
