Class JTASessionContext

java.lang.Object
org.hibernate.context.JTASessionContext
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, CurrentSessionContext

public class JTASessionContext extends Object implements CurrentSessionContext
An implementation of CurrentSessionContext which scopes the notion of a current session to a JTA transaction. Because JTA gives us a nice tie-in to clean up after ourselves, this implementation will generate Sessions as needed provided a JTA transaction is in effect. If a session is not already associated with the current JTA transaction at the time currentSession() is called, a new session will be opened and it will be associated with that JTA transaction.

Note that the sessions returned from this method are automatically configured with both the auto-flush and auto-close attributes set to true, meaning that the Session will be automatically flushed and closed as part of the lifecycle for the JTA transaction to which it is associated. Additionally, it will also be configured to aggressively release JDBC connections after each statement is executed. These settings are governed by the isAutoFlushEnabled(), isAutoCloseEnabled(), and getConnectionReleaseMode() methods; these are provided (along with the buildOrObtainSession() method) for easier subclassing for custom JTA-based session tracking logic (like maybe long-session semantics).

    • currentSession

      public Session currentSession() throws HibernateException
      Retrieve the current session according to the scoping defined by this implementation.
      Specified by:
      currentSession in interface CurrentSessionContext
      Returns:
      The current session.
      Throws:
      HibernateException - Typically indicates an issue locating or creating the current session.
    • buildOrObtainSession

      protected Session buildOrObtainSession()
      Strictly provided for subclassing purposes; specifically to allow long-session support.

      This implementation always just opens a new session.

      Returns:
      the built or (re)obtained session.
    • isAutoCloseEnabled

      protected boolean isAutoCloseEnabled()
      Mainly for subclass usage. This impl always returns true.
      Returns:
      Whether or not the the session should be closed by transaction completion.
    • isAutoFlushEnabled

      protected boolean isAutoFlushEnabled()
      Mainly for subclass usage. This impl always returns true.
      Returns:
      Whether or not the the session should be flushed prior transaction completion.
    • getConnectionReleaseMode

      protected ConnectionReleaseMode getConnectionReleaseMode()
      Mainly for subclass usage. This impl always returns after_statement.
      Returns:
      The connection release mode for any built sessions.
