Hi, I'm trying to use Hibernate Shards as my persistence provider for an application deployed in JBoss 5 but I'm not really sure how to get started. The documentation I found for Hibernate Shards always includes very much Hibernate/Shards specific code while I thought that it would be possible to use shards by just changing some configuration files (e.g. persistence.xml) and perhaps adding a few extra annotations, so that I could keep using the standard JPA way to do things in my source code. Is anyone aware of some tutorial or example project that demonstrates how to use Hibernate Shards with JBoss/JPA?
