Spring integrates both Struts and Hibernate. Plenty of docs available. Better to read those, because it's a bit complicated and isn't possible to do justice in a text box.

If you have no idea, you probably shouldn't be trying this. Unless it's only for education's sake.

Or did you get a nice outsourcing contract by lying about your capabilities?

well i have worked on struts framework, and also integrating hibernate in struts framework.Well what we are trying out here is

app framework:-struts2

backend:-POJO with spring,Hibernate and mysql.

so this means we want to use spring inside the struts framework for transaction management.

You could do a lot worse than buy this book

in this link the article shows three ways to integrate spring and struts...what they have tried to put empahsis is adding features of spring to struts framework...

1.Use Spring's ActionSupport

2.Override the RequestProcessor

2.Delegate action management to Spring

now what i'm thinking is which one is the best approach for my requirement..any idea?

Very good.

I'd recommend either the Spring reference docs or a book like "Pro Spring" or "Spring in Action". Both can tell you how to integration Struts and Hibernate with Spring.

Not sure what's new with Struts-2. (Doesn't it have WebWork in it now?) Also not sure if Struts-2 changes how Spring interacts with it.

I'd delegate actions to Spring.

Make sure you follow the Spring idiom: a well-defined, interface-based service layer. Don't put everything in an Action class. It tightly couples things with Struts and the web tier, and makes it impossible to use WITHOUT Struts.

Just a thought - why Struts? Why not Spring MVC? I think it's a better design.

No offense intended. We see a lot of that here - folks who get contracts by touting capabilities with no idea how to pull them off. They actually ask for help to get their job done, and by "help" I mean "write this for me".
