I don't see any properties that allow me to set auto_close to false and I rely heavily on lazy loading until the end of the request cycle in a servlet application.

Any transaction that is completed currently closes the session. How can I turn auto_close off using the hibernate3 har in jboss-4.0.2? Thanks.

Sorry, I entered the wrong topic subject... it should show jboss-4.0.2. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Also, I have tried setting this system property:

hibernate.transaction.auto_close_session=false

which does not work.

Sure, don't use SessionFactory.getCurrentSession() nor the HARDeployer.

The org.jboss.hibernate.jmx.Hibernate MBean always sets this property to true. SessionFactory.getCurrentSession() always places the built Session into auto-close mode.

Thank you very much, Steve. Is there, by any chance, a way I could use the HARDeployer and not have it set auto commit to true? I assume that it is strange to want what I am asking for. Why would you not want to be able to set this property... am I doing something wrong or not using sessions in the proper manner?

I always close my sessions at the end of the request by setting them in a ThreadLocal so I can use the lazy loading functionality in a Velocity transformation. How would you accomplish this using the HARDeployer? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you very much for your time.

Or, is there I can manually change this setting on the session after I retrieve it from the session factory? Thanks.
