Hibernate version:v3.0

Do I need to use explicit transactions to use the <version ../> functionality for objects? I cant seem to get it to work at all the way I am set up now:

- no transaction manager
- flush mode FLUSH_AUTO, with Spring's OpenSessionInViewInterceptor

Thanks!

If the code your working with is making changes to a persistent object, you need a transaction irrespective of weather or not a version ID is used. It is even more true when a version ID is being used. Weather it be JTA, or a Hibernate transaction, a transaction will be required.

With the OpenSessionInViewInterceptor with flushMode set to FLUSH_AUTO, I dont ever open/commit/close transactions explicitly... and it works fine. but no version love. is that the (inherent) downside of not demarking my transactions myself?

Oh ok, please pardon my ignorance of the OpenSessionInViewInterceptor. So updates are happening just fine, but the version is not? What does your mapping file look like? If you can't show the whole thing, prehaps just the beginning with the version element would suffice.
