Hibernate version:
3.1.2

When calling sessionFactory.getCurrentSession() from a non managed environment I get a no hibernatesessioncontext configured error.

This works fine when running within JBoss.

I am using a copy of the HibernateUtil class from Christian's CaviatEmpror example to get the session factory.

I havn't been able to find anything on this error either within google or on the Hibernate forums.

Any help would be much apprecieated.

Regards

Can you post the full exception trace? Also the code of getCurrentSession would be handy, assuming that it's the method that creates the session.

getCurrentSession is a method on the SessionFactory (Released in Hibernate 3.1.2)

The stack trace is as follows:

That exception is only thrown if the session factory wasn't initialized. The current session context is set up in the constructor of SessionFactoryImpl, and there's no returns before it. So the only way it can't be there is if SessionFactory was never constructed, of if there was an exception during construction. Check earlier in your logging for other exceptions, and check your code for places that might catch exceptions and ignore them.

you have to set the following property in the hibernate configuration:
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

Excellent. Thanks
