<bean id="sesFactoryWeb" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSes sionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource"><ref local="XXXXXX"/></property>
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>Unit.hbm.xml</value>
<value>UnitConversion.hbm.xml</value>
<value>UnitClass.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Orac le9Dialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.format_sql">false</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">false</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate .cache.EhCacheProvider</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.jdbc.wrap_result_sets">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

<!-- Spring-based persistence dao implementation -->
<bean id="persistenceDao" class="ca.gc.ec.dmf.persistence.PersistenceDaoSpri ngImpl">

Depends on what they are being used for. You tell us, it's your code so I guess you are supposed to know that more than us.

Depends on what they are being used for. You tell us, it's your code so I guess you are supposed to know that more than us.

Look in the J2EE specification. They are an enterprise-wide way of developing java classes that easier to deploy over the web and appServers. They are generic with a similar structure. From the few encounters that I have had with them they are a robust architecture with security, transaction monitoring etc. and have various other advantages.

It's a whole big paradigm (Session, Entity and Message Beans) and I have to agree with 'r0'. We can only assisst if u tell us where u are using them and how they are failing to meet what you want.
