If you have a lot of business objects (50+) you want to group them in components. I mean Article, Address, BusinessPartner, Supplier, Order and all that stuff.

Of course I know that this is theoretically possible by using Hibernate and Pico.

But I am desperately looking for examples. I didn't find any site in half an hour for that purpose. Can you please tell me a site which provides code examples?

I have a small app that has three config files: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mlwfflm/mlwfflm/src/conf/ .

They are loaded into the webb app by:

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/yahooContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

Or in the swing app:

AppContext.init(new String[] { "applicationContext.xml", "swingApplicationContext.xml", "yahooContext.xml" });


public static boolean init(String[] configLocations) throws IOException
   {
      if (context == null)
      {
         context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configLocations);
         eventListenerGroup = (EventListenerGroup) context.getBean("eventListenerGroup", EventListenerGroup.class);
         return true;
      }
      else
      {
         return false;
      }
   }

This is simple, but hope it helps.

It does not look like what I was looking for.

I search for a business object components, how they are built with Hibernate and Pico Container.
