Hibernate as Messaging persistence layer

[thejavafreak]

Dear all,

Is it true that in the future JBoss messaging will use hibernate for the persistency? If it is, I think it will be a great idea. Because when I had a hard time when migrating the datasource from hsqldb to postgres in JBoss5.

I have to remark the 'create table on startup' back and forth to true and false parameter each time I install the Appserver. Hibernate got this feature update value in 'create table on startup'.

So, can we know in what release this feature will be available?

Cheers,
Joshua

Messaging's sql needs are very basic and "straight to the bone" so it's unlikely we would use Hibernate as an O/R mapper - it's not really needed for us.

However, it is likely we could use Hibernate's dialects to avoid having to maintain different persistence configs for different databases - this would definitely have value.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply. I think this is a good approach too. So we wouldn't have change database-persistence-service.xml file each time we switch database.

Thanks.
