Hi,

I have a design issue implementing my DAO's. I have seen in examples and on the net that a DAO method could typically looks like :



using JBOSS with JTA transaction, it works great.

But when I write my JUnits tests, I have to enclose my DAO's method call within a 'session.beginTransaction()' and a 'transaction.commit()' . The problem is that the 'commit' fails since the session has been closed within DAO method.

other way, if I do not close the session in DAO, a warning appears when using it in JBOSS (session not properly closed).


Thanks for your help.

i thought the point of a dao is to conceal your persistence mechanism, so the session begin and commit are part of what the DAO does, so you put them in the method, e.g



have i got the wrong end of the stick with what you are doing?

You probably right :-) i haven't seen the problem this way, since i already define transaction in EJB descriptors.



Thank you.
