Maybe I'll try with xml instead of annotations..

Old school

@edvin annotations work for me. i have a few jpa projects going

you have the right package for Transient?

@Carlton Whitehead try putting some println()s in. the debugger will probably get screwed up if you try break points. verify that your clickOn() call is in fact called X number of times

@carlw But I bet you don't have JavaFX properties in there? 🙂

Mapping file works though

no, no javafx

With Kotlin?

no

I've got basic crud working now, will commit soon 🙂

great. i think the JDBC and ORM examples are going to help get the newcomers up to speed...seems like a missing piece to tie all the models together

Yeah, me too. I should have caught this sooner. I also think these samples might spark some more questions about persistence and how to deal with stuff like this.

The only issue left is that Hibernate is preventing the application from shutting down..

session.close() ?

@edvin how are you getting the connection?

I fixed it, will post and talk about solution in a sec

What I had done first was to register a shutdown hook that would close the session factory.

The problem was that the session factory was preventing the shutdown hook from running.

What I did instead was to create a shutdown function in a controller and call that from App.stop()

The shutdown function just closes the sessionFactory

@edvin uploaded a file: Hibernate initialization and Shutdown

I updated the code sample above to include the whole vendor service

Can anybody familiar with Hibernate tell me how to avoid this nasty cast?

createTypedQuery() ?

Aha!

Nah, that's not there.

It's createQuery with a type arg

That's from JPA I think
