Hello,

Hibernate version:

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
The web filter slightly modified to explicitly/directly use JTA transaction:
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
UserTransaction tx;
try {
tx = (UserTransaction) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
try {
LOG.debug("Starting a database transaction");
tx.begin();
// Call the next filter (continue request processing)
chain.doFilter(request, response);

// Commit and cleanup
LOG.debug("Committing the database transaction");
tx.commit();


} catch (StaleObjectStateException staleEx) {
LOG.error("This interceptor does not implement optimistic concurrency control!");
LOG.error("Your application will not work until you add compensation actions!");
// Rollback, close everything, possibly compensate for any permanent changes
// during the conversation, and finally restart business conversation. Maybe
// give the user of the application a chance to merge some of his work with
// fresh data... what you do here depends on your applications design.
throw staleEx;
} catch (Throwable ex) {
// Rollback only
ex.printStackTrace();
try {
LOG.debug("Trying to rollback database transaction after exception");
tx.rollback();
} catch (Throwable rbEx) {
LOG.error("Could not rollback transaction after exception!", rbEx);
}

// Let others handle it... maybe another interceptor for exceptions?
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
} catch (NamingException e) {
LOG.error("Could not lookup JTA UserTransaction!", e);
}

}

Problems with Session and transaction handling?
My code is based on the CaveatEmptor class GenericHibernateDAO
When a client accesses to my webapp for the 1st time, it works fine.
When a client accesses to my webapp for the 2nd time, it fails with the stacktrace above.
I solved this issue by removing the property session from the class GenericHibernateDAO; but i would like to clearly understand why this exception was raised.
If you have any idea, please do not hesitate.

Thanks and regards

Samuel
