Creating That First Cat (Hibernate + Derby)

[ac...@comcast.net]

I read through the introductions to Derby and Hibernate and, after much scratching of the head, some finagling and a bit of trial and error, I managed to figure out how to run the first Cat example in chapter 1 of the Hibernate manual.

It's not quite as easy as the Derby and Hibernate manuals might have one believe.

I'm prepared to write up some step-by-step instructions on what I did and why for the benefit of future newbies. Of course, I only want to do it if there's someplace for it to go (and a format) and there's a general agreement that it would be useful.

It would be very useful to have information about Derby and Hibernate.
I hope that you proceed.

That would be excellent! And, if you like, it could go on the papers tab 
here:

http://incubator.apache.org/derby/papers/index.html

Click on the "Integration" category in the left-hand menu. (A separate 
post proposes splitting that Integration category out into its own tab.) 
I've been listing detailed write-ups on the menu, on the index page, and 
also on the summary page at 
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/papers/misc.html .

As for format, there are suggestions at the bottom of 
http://incubator.apache.org/derby/papers/index.html .
