Add Spring setup to documentation (ideas included) about hikaricp HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey thanks for that! Is this limited to particular versions of Spring and/or Hibernate?

from hikaricp.

I'm currently using ORM 4.2.12.Final and Spring 3.2.8.RELEASE, but it shouldn't matter too much. Since you're directly feeding the HikariDataSource to the LocalSessionFactoryBean#setDataSource, specific versions are less important. It sidesteps the HikariCP <-> Hibernate integration (at least w/ respect to the ConnectionProvider, etc.) entirely.

Also for what it's worth (somewhat different topic), I branched HikariCP for use with ORM 4.2.x, since our ConnectionProvider SPI is slightly different there. Not sure if you'd want to do anything with it, but what the heck:

There will continue to be many users who won't upgrade to 4.3 for a while, largely due to Spring not supporting it until version 4 (in addition to other frameworks).

Added documentation to the wiki.
