I am having a minor issue integrating the Spring Framework's OpenSessionInViewFilter.

The following is the code I used inside web.xml to map the filter:

<filter>
<filter-name>OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>

<init-param>
<param-name>sessionFactoryBeanName</param-name>
<param-value>mySessionFactory</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter-mapping>


The problem is that the init-param sessionFactoryBeanName is being ignored and the application cannot find that session factory bean name.

In order to get around the problem, I renamed my spring sessionFactoryBean to be called "sessionFactory" instead of mySessionFactory" since that is the default name. This works fine. However, I am curious if anyone else has had this problem of not being able to specify a custom session factory bean name.

Thanks for your time,

According to the Servlet spec, you need to put the filter init-param inside the filter tag rather than the filter-mapping tag.

Thank you for the response. Sorry to post a careless mistake to the forum.

And on a side note Juergen , thank you very much for all of your hard work on the Spring/Hibernate integration. The tools provided are very well thought out and incredibly useful. You have saved me literally weeks of work and make my project much more manageable.
