Difference between HibernateDaoSupport and HibernateTemplate

[phlukman]

Hi all

I'd like to know whether there is any big difference when implementing
DAO using HibernateDaoSupport and HibernateTemplate.
According to the API documentation, both receives a session factory...
could my daos inherit indistinctively from HibernateDaoSupport or HibernateTemplate without major consequences?
thanks

The biggest difference I know of is that the HibernateTemplate created by HibernateDaoSupport is allowed to create Hibernate sessions (allow create) if no session is bound to the current thread. You can change the value through the allowCreate property on HibernateTemplate though.
