Question about release resource after servlet response

I want to close a session after the servlet finish sending the response to the client. What is the best way to do?

I am now using a ServletFilter to wrap around all servlet. Is there any better way?

For unmanaged environments, everyone is pretty much using a call to Session.close in Filter.doFilter - see http://hibernate.org/43.html .

I would say that managing H Session from Filter is OK.

There is some overview of various strategies:

Yes, these article confirm that this is a proper approach...

Just wonder what if the servlet container does not support filter. Like Websphere 4.

Anyway, it is more a matter of... Why don't ask the client to use Tomcat5...

thx anyway
