Session flushing despite FlushMode=NEVER (OSIV Filter)

My web application uses Hibernate 3.2 and Spring, and is configured to use an OpenSessionInViewFilter with the default FlushMode (FlushMode.NEVER).

It appears that the session is being flushed automatically, however, whenever I fetch some data using Criteria.

This means that if I want to create entity instances for use in the view only, I'm restricted. With the following code, "myEntity" would be written to the database on line 2 where there's a call to findByCriteria(...)

Code:

1: myEntity = new EntityObject();
2: getHibernateTemplate().findByCriteria(some detached criteria);

Is this the expected behaviour?

I realise that I could avoid "myEntity" being written to the database by swapping lines 1 and 2, but in my scenario that's not possible as I have custom JSP tags that fetch data using the criteria API.

You are setting the flushmode to never? The default flush mode is AUTO.

My mistake, I am not overriding the default. I just thought it was NEVER.
