robi2106's Journal: Sourceforge Project is Live: java, webwork, hibernate, mysql

So the source forge project officially exists now. Not that it is usefull to anyone yet, but there it is.

I don't have the source code up yet, but that might be finished by the end of today. The source is currently available on Google Code if you must see it. Don't expect to be able to Compile and Run, as the project has many dependencies that are not available yet (in house libraries that I need to get permission to release).

The project uses Java with webwork providing the servlet and hibernate doing the database access. There is no real JSP work going on, but that may change. The project is light on the presentation (very light in fact) so there is lots of headroom for growth.
Like I mentioned before, the project makes HEAVY use of static factory methods to eliminate constructor use.

I welcome all comments on the project and would LOVE to hear from more experienced developers regarding the project packaging and design (ie our use of factory methods, directories & repositories, etc).

But why Mysql? If you are using Hibernate the database should be irrelevant.

At work we use Hypersonic in our test cases and MSSQL in production environments. For kicks I have hooked it up to Mysql and Postgresql databases also. Access is really the only one we have troubles with (not a surprise).

You are right. The DB is interchangable. I just mention MySQL because that is what we used in development. Eventually it would be nifty to change up the factory methods to access Oracle (just an an example).

Should be as simple as adding an oracle jdbc driver and then changing the properties to point to the right driver. Atleast that is all we need to do.
