Using: Tomcat 5.5.9 + Hibernate 3.0.2 + JDBCTransaction


I am using session-per-request pattern.

I am using a reference counting version of HibernateSession Singleton (I believe this is what STRUTS uses, but I am not using STRUTS). This means I can call HibernateSession.currentSession() and HibernateSession.closeSession() in pairs around my units-of-work.

During a single request multiple transactions are being run, these are my atomic units or work. I am using the HibernateSession.beginTransaction() at the begin part of each transaction then the Transaction.commit() to commit. This is how I believe I should de-mark my transactions.

However at the second call to HibernateSession.beginTransaction() when reusing the same HibernateSession I get a HibernateException that "Session is closed".

There was no exception thrown before this and the first Transaction.commit() was a complete sucess and the data in the database.


Any pointers appreciated,

Thanks,

Darryl



I enclose the code snippets in execution order of my program:

Code:
... request setup ...
Session hsession_outer = HibernateSession.currentSession(); // This opens a session

... I need to do a transaction ...
Session hsession = null;
        try {
            hsession = HibernateSession.currentSession(); // This just gets the same session, bumps up ref counter
         Transaction tx = hsession.beginTransaction();  // No error

         hsession.save(rec);

         tx.commit();  // No error
      } catch (RuntimeException e) {
         log.warn("RuntimeException occured");         
         throw e; // or display error message
      } finally {
         HibernateSession.closeSession(); // This released the refence count, but does not call close()
         hsession = null;
      }

...some more code here... then another transaction ...

Session hsession = null;
        try {
            hsession = HibernateSession.currentSession(); // This just gets the same session, bumps up ref counter
                        //////////////////////// PROBLEM AREA ///////////////////////////////////
         Transaction tx = hsession.beginTransaction();  [b]// This generates my exception[/b]
                        //////////////////////// PROBLEM AREA ///////////////////////////////////

         hsession.save(rec);

         tx.commit();
      } catch (RuntimeException e) {
         log.warn("RuntimeException occured");         
         throw e; // or display error message
      } finally {
         HibernateSession.closeSession(); // This released the refence count, but does not call close()
         hsession = null;
      }

...and finally....

HibernateSession.closeSessionForced();  // This releases the refence count to zero, so this one will call close() proper.
hsession_outer = null;



My Singleton implementation, just in case I did not get it right:

Code:
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;

public class HibernateSessionRefCounted {
   private static org.apache.commons.logging.Log log =
   org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.getLog(HibernateSessionRefCounted.class);
   private static final ThreadLocal sessionContext = new ThreadLocal();
   private Session session;
   private int level;

   public static Session currentSession() throws HibernateException {
      HibernateSessionRefCounted tlSession = (HibernateSessionRefCounted) sessionContext.get();
      if (tlSession == null) {
         // Don't get from JNDI, use a static SessionFactory
         SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateSessionFactory.getSessionFactory();

         if (sessionFactory != null) {
            tlSession = new HibernateSessionRefCounted();
            tlSession.session = sessionFactory.openSession();
            tlSession.level = 0;
            sessionContext.set(tlSession);
         } else {
            // Generate an exception here
            throw new HibernateException("sessionFactory failed build");
         }
      }
      tlSession.level++;
      log.debug("sesh=" + tlSession + "; l=" + tlSession.level);
      return tlSession.session;
   }

   public static void closeSession() throws HibernateException {
      HibernateSessionRefCounted tlSession = (HibernateSessionRefCounted) sessionContext.get();
      log.debug("sesh=" + tlSession + "; l=" + ((tlSession != null) ? tlSession.level : -1));
      if (tlSession != null) {
         tlSession.level--;
         if (tlSession.level <= 0) {
            if (tlSession.session != null && tlSession.session.isOpen()) {
               tlSession.session.close();
               tlSession.session = null;
            }
            sessionContext.set(null);
         }
      }
   }   

   public static void closeSessionForced() throws HibernateException {
      HibernateSessionRefCounted tlSession = (HibernateSessionRefCounted) sessionContext.get();
      if (tlSession != null) {
         log.debug("sesh=" + tlSession + "; l=" + tlSession.level + "; op=" + ((tlSession.level != 1) ? "BAD" : "GOOD"));
         if (tlSession.session != null && tlSession.session.isOpen()) {
            tlSession.session.close();
            tlSession.session = null;
         }
         sessionContext.set(null);
      } else {
         log.debug("sesh=NULL");
      }
   }
}

I have changed the currentSession() function to detect a closed session and re-open it.

Is this a valid solution, does this turn my application into a session-per-transaction anti-pattern ?

Although my example show a single hsession.save() call, imagine this is truly a more complex unit-of-work that has no relationship to other units-of-work I'm trying to do in the same session.


My new Singleton that hides the implicit close being performed at Transaction.commit().


Code:
   public static Session currentSession() throws HibernateException {
      HibernateSessionRefCounted tlSession = (HibernateSessionRefCounted) sessionContext.get();

      // Don't get from JNDI, use a static SessionFactory
      SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateSessionFactory.getSessionFactory();

      if (sessionFactory == null) {
         // Generate an exception here
         throw new HibernateException("sessionFactory build failure");
      }

      if (tlSession == null) {
         tlSession = new HibernateSessionRefCounted();
         tlSession.internalOpenSession(sessionFactory);
      } else {
         if(tlSession.session.isOpen() == false) {
            log.debug("sesh=" + tlSession + "; l=" + tlSession.level + "; But session is closed, re-opening!");
            tlSession.internalOpenSession(sessionFactory);
         }
      }
      tlSession.level++;
      log.debug("sesh=" + tlSession + "; l=" + tlSession.level);
      return tlSession.session;
   }

private void internalOpenSession(SessionFactory sessionFactory) throws HibernateException {
      session = sessionFactory.openSession();
      level = 0;
      sessionContext.set(this);
   }
