Hi all,

I am not able to understand why do we need to store session in the threadlocal variable. Is it really necessay to use HibernateUtil rather than using the following code

public final class DAOFactory
{
public static SessionFactory csaSessionFactory=null;

public static SessionFactory getCsaSessionFactory() {

if(csaSessionFactory!=null) {
return csaSessionFactory;
}

Configuration c=new Configuration();
c.configure();
csaSessionFactory = c.buildSessionFactory();
return csaSessionFactory;
}

Thank you for your help!

Hibernate version: 3.x
