When will the Lifecycle methods exactly called? In the reference document, at one place it says, onSave() & onLoad() called after saving and loading. At another place, it says, only onLoad() is called after Loading. Which is correct?

Fitst.

This issue seems to be useful for me. is the lifecycle interface the one we should implement if we are trying to keep a session opened until the viex tier uses it? I mean, should we use it to avoid the Lazy instantiation exception? Well,if that is the case, I'd like to know what to implement inside the onLoad() method.

thanks

To avoid lazy initialization exception you need not to close session while it is needed :) If you are building web application, consider using Filter and ThreadLocal pattern.

yeah, I already knew that about not closing the session until it is needed. And yes, I'm building a web application (my first one with hibernate). if u could show me some resources (liks, tutorials) about how to use filters and threadlocal, ithat'd be great for me.

thanks again. do u ever sleep? :P
