persistence

EJB3 and manual hierarchy persistence.

I have a legacy database, which I am using EJB3 to model. The database is in quite a poor shape, and we have certain unusual restrictions on how we insert into the DB. Now I want to model the database in a hierarchy that fits in with the DB strucuture, but I want to be able to manually insert each entity individually without the persiste...

ADO.net principles in java

I'm asking on opinion about implementing framework that emulates ado.net in java (data tables, data sets etc). Idea is to avoid writing domain objects since they are, so far, just used to transport data from server to client and back, with no particular business methods inside them. Main goal is to speed up development time. Could i bene...

Keep controls persistent when the querystring changes

Is there anyway to do a postback with a new querystring that doesn't reset all of the controls on a page to their defaults? I have a page named "default.aspx" with several checkbox controls on it. I can check them all I want and they will remain persistent (meaning they keep their checked or unchecked state) on postbacks to "default.aspx...

Can I map an EnumSet to a series of boolean columns automatically using Hibernate Annotations?

I have an EnumSet that I thought it would be good to map into a series of boolean columns. This will make it easy to inspect using SQL tools and also resilient to changes to the available enum values. However, I don't really want to hand-write all the getters and setters for this. Does anyone have a clever solution using some kind of ...

What is the best way to persist an object using forms in PHP?

I have a PHP application where I would like to certain objects to persist in the following manner: The object must not exist in the $_SESSION.

Options for persisting data as a set of key-value-pairs with a common key and type

I'm toying with the idea to write another framework to make it easier to develop "bread'n'butter" applications (like create a class with N fields, get an editor for that for free plus the DB persistence). All data models can be converted into the Entity-Attribute-Value form: TYPE VARCHAR(32) ID LONG INT NAME VARCHAR(32) VALUE VARCHAR(6...

Efficient persistent storage for simple id to table of values map for java

I need to store some data that follows the simple pattern of mapping an "id" to a full table (with multiple rows) of several columns (i.e. some integer values [u, v, w]). The size of one of these tables would be a couple of KB. Basically what I need is to store a persistent cache of some intermediary results. This could quite easily be ...

Recently viewed DIV without page reload

Hi there, I have no idea how to solve this problem without hiring a coder, but figured it may be small enough problem to post here, and relevant enough to others for broader interest. I'd like to have a "recently viewed pages" div filled by a javascript script which adds the titles and urls of new pages as they are requested by a user t...

Sql Workflow Persistence Service does not save workflow state

Hallo everybody, I'm dealing with a pretty strange situation here. I have developed a State Machine Workflow and it worked just fine until today. Now, the Sql Workflow Persistence Service does not save the workflow state. There is no any exception, just it does not save the state. The flow is going normally to the Event Driven activity ...

OSGi + Hibernate

Instead of having database actions scattered in four (osgi) bundles, all doing there slightly different things. I want to create a (simple) OSGi bundle that is responsible for all persistance issues. I feel that this is not as simple as it sounds because of the "unique classloader per bundle" thing. So what I really would appreciate is ...

EJB3 - handling RollBackExceptions

Hi all, I have an EJB3 application which consists of some EJB's for accessing a DB, and exposed via a Session Bean as a web service.
