Hibernate version: 2.1.8

I've been searching docs, forums, and google for how to get Hibernate to automatically work with JTA to registerSynchronization so that it automatically flushes and closes at the end of the JTA transaction. Obviously this goes hand-in-hand with thread local session and all that jazz.

I see in JBoss 3/4 there's a HibernateContext class that does exactly what I want, except that it depends on the JBoss TM, rather than using Hibernate's transaction.manager_lookup_class (which would make it portable across app servers).

I want a portable solution. Are there any plans to integrate such functionality into the core distribution?

Thanks,

In Hibernate3 there are some settings afaik, check the javadoc for org.hibernate.cfg.Environment

There appears to be no support for this in Hibernate3.

hibernate.transaction.flush_before_completion
hibernate.transaction.auto_flush_session

Thanks Gavin.

The class JavaDoc comment for Environment has not yet been updated with these properties.

I see in Hibernate3 there is extensive work on the JTA integration piece, but I still don't see anything like the JBoss HibernateContext that returns the same Session instance for all calls within the same tx. Am I just missing it?

Thanks,
