Class Overview

Helper class featuring methods for Hibernate Session handling, allowing for reuse of Hibernate Session instances within transactions. Also provides support for exception translation.

Supports synchronization with both Spring-managed JTA transactions (see JtaTransactionManager) and non-Spring JTA transactions (i.e. plain JTA or EJB CMT), transparently providing transaction-scoped Hibernate Sessions. Note that for non-Spring JTA transactions, a JTA TransactionManagerLookup has to be specified in the Hibernate configuration.

Used internally by HibernateTemplate, HibernateInterceptor and HibernateTransactionManager. Can also be used directly in application code.

Public Methods

public static void applyTransactionTimeout (Query query, SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Apply the current transaction timeout, if any, to the given Hibernate Query object.

Parameters
query the Hibernate Query object
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory that the Query was created for (may be null)
See Also
  • org.hibernate.Query#setTimeout

public static void applyTransactionTimeout (Criteria criteria, SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Apply the current transaction timeout, if any, to the given Hibernate Criteria object.

Parameters
criteria the Hibernate Criteria object
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory that the Criteria was created for
See Also
  • org.hibernate.Criteria#setTimeout

public static void closeSession (Session session)

Perform actual closing of the Hibernate Session, catching and logging any cleanup exceptions thrown.

Parameters
session the Hibernate Session to close (may be null)
See Also
  • org.hibernate.Session#close()

public static DataAccessException convertHibernateAccessException (HibernateException ex)

Convert the given HibernateException to an appropriate exception from the org.springframework.dao hierarchy.

Parameters
ex HibernateException that occured
Returns
  • the corresponding DataAccessException instance
See Also

public static Session doGetSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory, boolean allowCreate)

Get a Hibernate Session for the given SessionFactory. Is aware of and will return any existing corresponding Session bound to the current thread, for example when using HibernateTransactionManager. Will create a new Session otherwise, if "allowCreate" is true.

Throws the original HibernateException, in contrast to getSession(SessionFactory, Interceptor, SQLExceptionTranslator).

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to create the session with
allowCreate whether a non-transactional Session should be created when no transactional Session can be found for the current thread
Returns
  • the Hibernate Session
Throws
if the Session couldn't be created
IllegalStateException if no thread-bound Session found and allowCreate false
HibernateException

public static DataSource getDataSource (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Determine the DataSource of the given SessionFactory.

Parameters
sessionFactory the SessionFactory to check
Returns
  • the DataSource, or null if none found
See Also

public static TransactionManager getJtaTransactionManager (SessionFactory sessionFactory, Session session)

Try to retrieve the JTA TransactionManager from the given SessionFactory and/or Session. Check the passed-in SessionFactory for implementing SessionFactoryImplementor (the usual case), falling back to the SessionFactory reference that the Session itself carries.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory
session Hibernate Session (can also be null)
Returns
  • the JTA TransactionManager, if any
See Also
  • javax.transaction.TransactionManager
  • SessionFactoryImplementor#getTransactionManager
  • Session#getSessionFactory
  • org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl

public static Session getNewSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory, Interceptor entityInterceptor)

Get a new Hibernate Session from the given SessionFactory. Will return a new Session even if there already is a pre-bound Session for the given SessionFactory.

Within a transaction, this method will create a new Session that shares the transaction's JDBC Connection. More specifically, it will use the same JDBC Connection as the pre-bound Hibernate Session.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to create the session with
entityInterceptor Hibernate entity interceptor, or null if none
Returns
  • the new Session

public static Session getNewSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Get a new Hibernate Session from the given SessionFactory. Will return a new Session even if there already is a pre-bound Session for the given SessionFactory.

Within a transaction, this method will create a new Session that shares the transaction's JDBC Connection. More specifically, it will use the same JDBC Connection as the pre-bound Hibernate Session.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to create the session with
Returns
  • the new Session

public static Session getSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory, Interceptor entityInterceptor, SQLExceptionTranslator jdbcExceptionTranslator)

Get a Hibernate Session for the given SessionFactory. Is aware of and will return any existing corresponding Session bound to the current thread, for example when using HibernateTransactionManager. Will always create a new Session otherwise.

Supports setting a Session-level Hibernate entity interceptor that allows to inspect and change property values before writing to and reading from the database. Such an interceptor can also be set at the SessionFactory level (i.e. on LocalSessionFactoryBean), on HibernateTransactionManager, or on HibernateInterceptor/HibernateTemplate.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to create the session with
entityInterceptor Hibernate entity interceptor, or null if none
jdbcExceptionTranslator SQLExcepionTranslator to use for flushing the Session on transaction synchronization (may be null; only used when actually registering a transaction synchronization)
Returns
  • the Hibernate Session
Throws
DataAccessResourceFailureException if the Session couldn't be created
See Also

public static Session getSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory, boolean allowCreate)

Get a Hibernate Session for the given SessionFactory. Is aware of and will return any existing corresponding Session bound to the current thread, for example when using HibernateTransactionManager. Will create a new Session otherwise, if "allowCreate" is true.

This is the getSession method used by typical data access code, in combination with releaseSession called when done with the Session. Note that HibernateTemplate allows to write data access code without caring about such resource handling.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to create the session with
allowCreate whether a non-transactional Session should be created when no transactional Session can be found for the current thread
Returns
  • the Hibernate Session
Throws
DataAccessResourceFailureException if the Session couldn't be created
IllegalStateException if no thread-bound Session found and "allowCreate" is false
See Also

public static boolean hasTransactionalSession (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Return whether there is a transactional Hibernate Session for the current thread, that is, a Session bound to the current thread by Spring's transaction facilities.

Parameters
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory to check (may be null)
Returns
  • whether there is a transactional Session for current thread

public static void initDeferredClose (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Initialize deferred close for the current thread and the given SessionFactory. Sessions will not be actually closed on close calls then, but rather at a processDeferredClose(SessionFactory) call at a finishing point (like request completion).

Used by OpenSessionInViewFilter and OpenSessionInViewInterceptor when not configured for a single session.

Parameters
sessionFactory the Hibernate SessionFactory to initialize deferred close for
See Also

public static boolean isDeferredCloseActive (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Determine whether deferred close is active for the current thread and the given SessionFactory.

Parameters
sessionFactory the Hibernate SessionFactory to check
Returns
  • whether deferred close is active

public static boolean isSessionTransactional (Session session, SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Return whether the given Hibernate Session is transactional, that is, bound to the current thread by Spring's transaction facilities.

Parameters
session the Hibernate Session to check
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory that the Session was created with (may be null)
Returns
  • whether the Session is transactional

public static SQLExceptionTranslator newJdbcExceptionTranslator (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Create an appropriate SQLExceptionTranslator for the given SessionFactory. If a DataSource is found, a SQLErrorCodeSQLExceptionTranslator for the DataSource is created; else, a SQLStateSQLExceptionTranslator as fallback.

Parameters
sessionFactory the SessionFactory to create the translator for
Returns
  • the SQLExceptionTranslator
See Also

public static void processDeferredClose (SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Process all Hibernate Sessions that have been registered for deferred close for the given SessionFactory.

Parameters
sessionFactory the Hibernate SessionFactory to process deferred close for
See Also

public static void releaseSession (Session session, SessionFactory sessionFactory)

Close the given Session, created via the given factory, if it is not managed externally (i.e. not bound to the thread).

Parameters
session the Hibernate Session to close (may be null)
sessionFactory Hibernate SessionFactory that the Session was created with (may be null)

public static String toString (Session session)

Stringify the given Session for debug logging. Returns output equivalent to Object.toString(): the fully qualified class name + "@" + the identity hash code.

The sole reason why this is necessary is because Hibernate3's Session.toString() implementation is broken (and won't be fixed): it logs the toString representation of all persistent objects in the Session, which might lead to ConcurrentModificationExceptions if the persistent objects in turn refer to the Session (for example, for lazy loading).

Parameters
session the Hibernate Session to stringify
Returns
  • the String representation of the given Session
