Thanks Brett.
I cannot use annotations as I amusing JDK 1.4
Here is the modified version of the code I have. I am trying to use ProxyFactoryBean.
This seems to work atleast for the read operations. I need to test for write though.
I do NOT want to use AOP as I am not using any features of AOP.
There must be another way of doing this.. configuring spring and hibernate for jdk 1.4
Thanks in advance.
