sessionFactory.getCurrentSession() problem

§upernova§oftware · **Posted:** Sat Jul 16, 2005 8:30 pm

Hibernate version: 3.0.2

I recently switched a major project from ejb 2.1 to hibernate 3.0 with great results. Now I am trying to get this set up for a very simple web app. I use sessionFactory.getCurrentSession(), but I am receiving a null pointer error. If I use sessionFactory.getOpenSession() everything works as expected. I cannot find the difference in the setup in my two projects. Any help would be appreciated. If this is not enough information I can switch my code back and generate a stack trace. I tried to get the source, but sourceforge is not working currently.

getCurrentSession() only works in a managed environment - an Application Server.

I am using a manage enviroment, but this must not be set up property in my new project. I am using JBoss 4.0.2 with pojo annotations.

Here is the code I am using:

Code:

    public Session getCurrentSession() {
        Session hsession = null;
        try {
          InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
          SessionFactory factory = (SessionFactory) ctx.lookup("java:/hibernate/SessionFactory/pipetracker");
          hsession = factory.getCurrentSession();
        } catch (NamingException ne) {
          ne.printStackTrace();  
        }
        return hsession;
    }

Are you *certain* that there is a JTA transaction started *before* you make a call to getCurrentSession()?
