Hibernate version:
3.1.2


I'm migrating to hibernate 3 from hiberante 2. I still have a HibernateHelper class which manages the current sessions and transactions. This was needed in hibernate 2. Hibernate 3 can handle it's own current session. So what do I do?

This:

public Session getSession() {
Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
try {
if (session == null) {
Interceptor interceptor = threadInterceptor.get();
if (interceptor == null) {
session = sessionFactory.openSession();
}
else {
session = sessionFactory.openSession(interceptor);
}
}
}
catch (HibernateException he) {
throw new FrameworkRuntimeException("Couldn't open a new session.", he);
}
return session;
}


So I check if there is a current session, if no I create one, if there is an interceptor, i open the session with it.
Problem the getCurrentSession method opens a new one if none exists? Does this make sense, how should I solve it, keep the old HibernateHelper which keeps its own current session?

- You can keep your approach;
- do it more elegantly with CGLib based proxies

- use Spring (although not the the HibernateTemplate) or HiveMind (HiveTranse);
