I use Connection conn = this.getSession().connection(),but when I compile it,it says:
[deprecation] connection() has deprecation under org.hibernate.Session
Then I looked up hibernate-3.2 api,it says:
Connection connection() throws HibernateExceptionDeprecated. To be replaced with a SPI for performing work against the connection; scheduled for removal in 4.x

I don't know how to "replaced with a SPI for performing work against the connection"? Anyone could give me a example to do it?

Thanks!

"To be replaced"

I don't know which method to be used replace connection()?
Would you tell me how to do it? An example is better!
Thanks!

"TO BE".

Edward, what Christian means is that there is currently no other method that you can use instead. In a future version of Hibernate there will be something that replaces the connection() method, but it is not yet available in Hibernate 3.2.5.

So you just have to live with the deprecation at this moment. In the future, when there's a different way to get to the connection, you can use that new way, but it isn't available yet.

just FYI, they are going to create a method which doesn't expose the connection (so much) so the connection/session management can stay within control of hibernate and your connection manager implementation instead of letting you manually use it and potentially create connection leaks or deadlock db connections.

Wouldn't it be best to declare deprecation only when there is a new replacing method?

If your hibernate is auto-commit true,
you could circle your operations with doInHibernate ,
and it will guerentee it will commit it when the session is done.
