The topoged-hibernate library is part of the larger topoged project. Its purpose is to create a Clojure interface to Hibernate. The goals of this project are:
- To remove all the boilerplate code.
- Allow Hibernate configuration to be used as is. There is no need to create a new configuration mechanism in Clojure; XML is just fine.
- Allow for programatic configurarion.
- Integrate with existing Clojure paradigms.
The following simple example shows how to save a record in to a table.
(hibernate)
(with-session [session tx]
(.save session "Event" (entity-map
{:title "A follow-up event" :date (Date.)}))
The (hibernate) call initializes Hibernate using the standard
hibernate initialization.
with-session is a macro that gets a session and a transaction and execeutes the body of within the transaction, closing the transaction at the end.
This has only been tested with the dynamic-map entities in hibernate.
There is a mismatch between hibernate maps and clojure maps which means that there is some translating between them. Hopefully, this will be smoothed over in the future
