TransactionManager singleton

[alesj]

I am using more DAO objects (working on the same SessionFactory) which all requre Hibernate transaction manager (via TransactionProxyFactoryBean).

Should my hibernateTransactionManager be a prototype bean?

What about working with Quartz? Since Hibernate transaction manager works on the same DataSource, will the same bean also be good for transactional purposes?

Thanx,
Ales

The transaction manager should be a singleton. I'm not the best person to answer the Quartz question.
