Hi all,

1, Can I keep an instance of Session if I get it using SessionFactory.getCurrentSession().
2, I am unable to make a call to session.toString() if I get session using SessionFactory.getCurrentSession(). It is throwing error
org.hibernate.HibernateException: toString is not valid without active transaction
at org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext$TransactionProtectionWrapper.invoke(ThreadLocalSessionContext.java:268)

When u r using same table and database, u have to get the session one time only. then u can use it as u want ... dont spend time to configure it every time.
and tostring will giver errro. because it might not returning any object which can be represented as string..

I don't think the reason for error is that. This is the code fragment I used. I used release RC2.


Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().beginTransaction();
logger.info("Printing Session " + session);
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(employee);
sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().getTransaction().commit();
logger.info("Printing Session after commit " + session);

When I checked the source(thank God it is bundled with the download) it is allowing only certain methods to execute if the session don't have an active transaction. This is code from ThreadLocalSessionContext that is throwing error.

if ( !realSession.getTransaction().isActive() ) {
// limit the methods available if no transaction is active
if ( "beginTransaction".equals( method.getName() )
|| "getTransaction".equals( method.getName() )
|| "isTransactionInProgress".equals( method.getName() )
|| "isOpen".equals( method.getName() ) ) {
log.trace( "allowing method [" + method.getName() + "] is non-transacted context" );
}
else {
throw new HibernateException( method.getName() + " is not valid without active transaction" );
}
}


I think the methods toString and equals must be added to the list of allowed methods.
