Can Play 2 be made to work well with hibernate+JPA?
I know many people don't like it , but I invested a fair amount of time into understanding hibernate and if I stick with the JVM I would want to be able to apply that.
- mark242 14y agoYes, it will work. There's no magic sauce about adding whichever ORM you want; just declare it as a dependency in your build file and you're ready to go.
- jiggy2011 14y agoThanks, is there anything "weird" about it though? For example: I remember in play 1.x various helper method were provided that were different from those in standard JPA including something that felt like properties in ruby. Not really a problem in practice, but required a litte trial and error when compared with the hibernate docs. However I imagine Play 2 makes use of various dynamic style programming techniques (via Scala) that might make hibernate behave in subtly different ways to what the hibernate literature might lead you to believe? I appreciate that this is an extremely hand-wavey question.
