Hibernate Datasource

[SteveSinger]

Hopefully this is a quick question and I'm just missing something simple, since I'm new to smartGWT!

We are using the LGPL Version of smartGWT and have an existing Hibernate configuration. We've got a working hibernate.cfg.xml and file mappings using the *.hbm.xml paradigm. I'd like to be able to use the smartGWT grids leveraging the smartGWT datasources so that scrolling and filtering are enabled.

But I can't find any documentation on how to create smartGWT datasources that leverage the existing Hibernate configuration. The documentation all seems to say it can be done, but I can't find an example. It seems that if I can figure this out, I can just attach the datasource to the grids.

As I said, I am likely missing something basic and simple, so any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Read the QuickStart Guide - with LGPL, you'd have to use Rest. With Pro or better there's a built-in connector, and several samples in the Pro/EE Showcase.

One additional question -- it does look like the Pro version will handle this a lot more elegantly. But if we end up developing a commercial application and use the Pro version to develop, what are the licensing implications for us distributing the modules?
