Yep.

Yes. What's important is that you must perform your transaction in the 
scope of a single HTTP request, otherwise you'll have to use another 
strategy.

Haven't thought about it.

First of all, you need a Servlet 2.3 compliant container. Recent 
versions of Jetty or Tomcat are OK. Then you need to patch Cocoon's 
web.xml file to refer to the 2.3 DTD:

   <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
         "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
         "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

Then, as first children of the <web-app> element add the following lines:

   <filter>
     <filter-name>HibernateFilter</filter-name>
     <!-- change this to the name of your filter class -->
     <filter-class>it.cbim.bpa.model.util.Persistence</filter-class>
   </filter>

   <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>HibernateFilter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
   </filter-mapping>

As far as JNDI is concerned, I've removed all JNDI code from my 
Persistence class and simplified it a little. I'm sending you privately 
the class.
