I am using Hibernate 5.2 and just wanted to check if there is a config property in AvailableSettings which i can use to set allowOutOfTransactionUpdateOperations to true while building a sessionFactory. By looking at the code this can get set using the sessionFactoryBuilder.allowOutOfTransactionUpdateOperations(true); but the problem is that we can get a reference of sessionFactoryBuilder only in Configuration class.

I tried referring https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.2/javadocs/org/hibernate/boot/SessionFactoryBuilder.html#allowOutOfTransactionUpdateOperations-boolean-

but it doesn't mention if anything is available with respect to AvailableSettings.

Is there anyone who has tried to set this property while building sessionFactory, using MetaData or some other way?

Why would you want to update outside of a transaction? The JPA spec disallows this behavior, and this is for very good reasons. You are going to work in auto-commit mode and won't benefit from the atomic unit of work.

Sounds like a code smell to me.

Anyway, if you really need to use such a feature, then you could the `hibernate.allow_update_outside_transaction` which is documented in the Hibernate User Guide.
