Re: [hibernate-dev] Could we have a Hibernate 5.3 compatibility layer that includes the ORM 5.1 Hibernate Session class

we all understand 5.1 -> 5.2 unified SessionFactory/EntityManagerFactory
and Session/EntityManager, and that caused us to have to make changes to
certain method signatures - most notably `Session#getFlushMode` was one
of the problems. Session defined that returning a FlushMode; however
JPA also defined this same method, although poorly named IMO since it
instead returns JPA's FlushModeType (so why the method is not called
`#getFlushModeType` is beyond me. Anyway the point is that there is no
way to rectify these - there is no way that we can define a contract
that simultaneously conforms to both.
As Sanne said, and as we all agreed during f2f, the best approach is to
have both versions available for use.
Which Hibernate ORM release would be best for the second version that we
include? ORM 5.3 or 6.0?
Agreed that we will still include ORM 5.1, in WildFly. For the second
ORM version that we include (whatever the version is), we have an
additional requirement now. Future releases of WildFly need to be
(JPA/native application) compatible with the Hibernate ORM versions that
we include.
We will be releasing WildFly more frequently, and want users to be able
to able to keep up with our pace, as we release more often.
