when will we use FilterDispatcher and when StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter.
i read that FilterDispatcher is being depreciated.Can someone shed some light.
Thanks in advance.

you should check your transaction boundries if you have specified any.
hibernate will do dirty checking after the tranastion commit, and then all the changes will reflect.
for more info please check transaction management in hibernate or post the code.

Please Help is there is any Spring Jar mismatch or hibernate mapping issue

Java is such an amazing language.
Anything is possible,You just have to find a way.
Nice post guys. Enjoyed reading.
Keep it up.

I seem to be in confusion about in request dispatcher and redirect's relative path.
how can i use a jsp with relative path when it is in WEB-INF and out side WEB-INF using relative path.
