Spring RESTful controller method improvement suggestions

Question

I am new to Spring, REST, and Hibernate. That said, I\'ve tried to put together an Enterprise-class controller method, which I plan to use as a pattern for future development.

Answer 1

Suggested Improvements:

• a) use JPA instead of plain Hibernate
• b) Let Spring inject the Hibernate Session/JPA Entity Manager
• c) Let Spring do the database Handling (Annotation (@Transactional) or programmatic (TransactionTemplate) )
