HbnContainer - Vaadin Add-on Directory

HbnContainer is a data connector for Vaadin based on Hibernate. It is used for binding entities with database records to feed components like tables, forms and trees.

** Please note ** This project is inactive and in need of a maintainer. If you would like to take it over please fork it on github and add the support and features that you need. Because of its popularity I don't want to just take the codebase offline so if anyone has interest please take it over for the benefit of the community. HbnContainer is a data connector for Vaadin based on the popular Hibernate ORM from JBoss. It is distributed as a Vaadin Add-on and it is used for binding entities with database records to feed components like tables, forms and trees. Compatibility: * Vaadin 6 + Hibernate 3.x: HbnContainer 1.0 * Vaadin 6 + Hibernate 4.x: HbnContainer 1.1 * Vaadin 7 + Hibernate 4.x: HbnContainer 2.0 License: * HbnContainer is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License. * You are free to use HbnContainer in commercial applications. Notes: * I will maintain a branch for 1.1 code for bug fixes * I currently have no plans to add features to 1.1 * New features will be added to 2.x only * Please use the project page for reporting bugs * Please use the project page for feature requests * Please contribute any enhancements back to the community Origins: HbnContainer originated with Matti Tahvonen at Vaadin who created it for an article explaining how to use Hibernate with Vaadin. I took over as maintainer in 2012 when Matti found that he didn't have time to maintain this project along with all the other work he was doing for Vaadin and for the open source community. Matti continues to advise and consult on this project occasionally, as needed.

HbnContainer version 1.0
null

HbnContainer version 1.0.1
* Small patch to improve MySQL compatibility with some versions. Thanks to Kristoffer Jansson. * Upgraded to stable maturity level. Used in a large public web application without known issues.

HbnContainer version 1.0.2
Added stub methods to resolve issues with Container.Filterable (changed in Vaadin 6.6). This version should work with Vaadin 6.6, but the new style filterable API doesn't work. Old API and overriding getBaseCriteria() should work as before.

HbnContainer version 1.0.3
SimpleStringFilter now somehow works. Should give a bit better Vaadin 6.6 support. Untested, please let me know if it doesn't work.

HbnContainer version 1.0.4
indexOfId method now works always, but is slow in some situations. Needed to make ComboBoxes work properly in Vaadin 6.6.

HbnContainer version 1.0.5
A patch from Michal Stehlik: * Extendable filtering API (not only by overriding the getBaseCriteria() method) * updateEntity now uses update() instead of save()
